The LL.M. in International Legal Studies educates legal professionals in different areas of comparative and international law, including international economic law, human rights and environmental and energy law, with the goal of preparing them for a successful and impactful legal career in the pursuit of a more sustainable future. Using a practical and hands-on approach, this LL.M. program explores how international law is evolving to address new challenges presented by technology and globalization. The need for legal professionals to navigate this new international legal framework, accelerated by the internet and information and communication technologies, is greater than ever. These evolutions challenge our traditional approaches to the different branches of public international law, private international law and transnational law, as well as the different domestic laws around the world and, in particular, in the evolving fields of International Economic Law, Human Rights in the Digital Society and Environmental & Energy Law. |
