For more than 40 years, Miami Law's International Graduate Programs have trained lawyers for the global marketplace. LL.M. students from around the word have come to UM to advance their careers by studying with our expert faculty in Miami – the gateway between the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia.

Our programs are open to lawyers who hold a JD degree or its equivalent from a foreign institution and provide the background necessary to recognize, understand and manage problems arising in today's international legal order.

Within the International Law LL.M., we offer four specializations:

• U.S. and Transnational Law for Foreign Lawyers
• International Arbitration
• Inter-American Law
• International Law

We also offer an LL.M. in Ocean and Coastal Law as well as a Joint Degree – J.D./LL.M. – in International Law or Ocean and Coastal Law.

In our programs, students benefit from:

• Advisors who offer personalized guidance on course selection to match each student's academic and professional goals
• Regular interaction with J.D. students through shared classroom experiences, a mentoring program for incoming students, and professionally oriented student activities, including the International Law Lecture Series and International Law Society
• Renowned faculty scholars in international and transnational law, international arbitration and maritime law
• An intensive two-week orientation program specifically for international students
• Access to a career services advisor who has special training in assisting international LL.M. students
• The ability to transfer to the J.D. program.
• The opportunity to take a U.S. bar exam; while each state in the U.S. has its own eligibility requirements, many of our students take various state bar exams, including New York, and we are the only Law School in Miami to offer this option
