American Law

About

Overview Students of the American Law program offered by Boston University, not only learn the substance of US doctrine in virtually any area of interest—intellectual property, international business transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and alternative dispute resolution, to name only a few—they also learn something equally as important: how US lawyers are trained to analyze legal questions and advocate on their clients’ behalf.Customized CurriculumUpon admission and confirmation of commitment to attend BU Law, students will receive detailed registration materials and indicate preliminary course selections. Academic plans, however, are not completely settled until students meet one-on-one with the director or associate director, who will discuss professors’ different teaching styles and approaches and guide each student on how to construct the optimal study plan to achieve his or her goals. I want to find another Master Course Program Learning OutcomesStudents will demonstrate:A basic understanding of the US legal system.An ability to use legal authority and perform legal analysis.Proficiency in legal English, in both written and oral communications.

The LLM in American Law Program is specifically designed to prepare foreign-trained lawyers for the challenge of global practice. In this program, students are fully integrated into Boston University Law’s JD classes, where they sit side-by-side with American students being trained in the tradition of US legal education.
