International Law Courses
This list of international law courses is here to tempt and excite prospective participants in CILE programs and to assist our current students in planning their schedules. Participants in the JD International Law Certificate Program have three required courses plus a writing requirement but, along with JD and JSD students, are eligible to take any courses taught at this law school are required to take certain of these courses and can select from among the rest to satisfy their international law electives requirement.
In any given school year, this law school offers at least two unique international law courses taught by foreign experts. Because those coures differ every semester depending on the changing legal climate and the expertise of our visiting professors, they are not listed on this page.
