专业概况
在这里学什么？The Duquesne University School of Law offers a Master of Laws LL.M. degree for candidates who have fulfilled the educational requirements for admission to the practice of law in a foreign country, and candidates attending a foreign institution with a joint LL.B./LL.M. degree agreement with Duquesne University School of Law.
The relatively modest size of the LL.M. program allows for students to receive individual attention within the friendly Duquesne community. The University's Office of International Programs offers extensive programs and comprehensive English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
Duquesne Law's LL.M. for Foreign Lawyers General Curriculum (or Non-Bar-Track) is designed to familiarize foreign lawyers and students with the general principles of U.S. law and prepare them for the demands of practicing law in a global economy. Program graduates will return to their home counties prepared to work with their colleagues and U.S. attorneys handling issues that involve U.S. law.
The General Curriculum offers:
The General Curriculum features a selection of required core American law courses and a variety of eligible elective courses. In addition, the General Curriculum offers the opportunity for students to select an optional subject-area concentration and tap into externship opportunities and mentor relationships.
Subject-Area Concentrations
Three subject-area concentrations are available within the General Curriculum:
Each LL.M. student who selects a subject-area concentration is also eligible for an externship, or work placement, with a law firm or corporation in Pittsburgh during the spring semester. In addition, the student is eligible to be matched with a mentor, that is, a lawyer or other practitioner who can provide additional support and professional advice.
All General Track LL.M. candidates must complete a certain number of required courses within 24 months from the date of matriculation. The candidates must receive passing grades in classes totaling 24 credits. Summer Bridge Program courses are not counted toward the required credits.
Bar-Track Curriculum
The Bar-Track Curriculum provides foreign-trained lawyers with the foundations for practicing law in the United States. LL.M. students in this program gain grounding in the basic principles of American law in a curriculum of 25 credits designed to meet the requirements for foreign-trained lawyers to sit for the bar examinations in New York or California.
In certain limited circumstances, foreign lawyers who have practiced for five of the last eight years, and who meet other requirements, may sit for the Pennsylvania bar exam.
The total credits required for the Bar-Track Curriculum must be successfully completed within one calendar year of matriculation
