Sixteen graduates of law schools from around the world have
started their study of United States law as part of the Law
School’s new LL.M. program in U.S. Law
for Foreign Law School Graduates. The one-year, 24 credit
course will enable these students to sit for the New York State bar
exam.
The participants hail from Spain, Italy, Russia, India, South
Korea, Nepal, Japan, South Africa, Dominican Republic, Egypt,
Thailand, and Colombia. Under the program, each student is
required to study an introduction to US law and to US legal
research and writing. The other courses are at the student’s
choice, but ten credits must be from among the Law School’s core
courses. Dean Mary C Daly and the faculty welcome these
students and the inauguration of this creative and far-reaching new
program, which enhances St John’s’ global outlook and
reputation.
