The school also has excellent adjunct faculty members who have played prominent roles in leading public and private sector organizations. Moreover, the Program offers significant opportunities for externships with local and federal agencies, public interest organizations, and the courts. LLM students may take a wide array of general and specialized courses. LLM students benefit from the law school's general emphasis on administrative law and regulatory policy. The program responds to the need for advanced, specialized education on the part of recent law graduates and practicing attorneys.
New lawyers confront a legal environment deeply influenced by regulatory power.
To advance their careers, they can benefit directly from diverse offerings on administrative law and regulatory policy and unparalleled externship opportunities. Practicing lawyers often feel the need to return to school for professional advancement and intellectual development. Required courses are kept to a minimum, and the menu of offerings is large and varied. Whether you are interested mostly in obtaining the degree or having a challenging learning experience, we invite you to be a part of our program. LLM students take a special Law and Government Seminar, entitled The Washington Lawyer.
