Master of Laws in Securities and Financial Regulation

Applicants who completed their first deGRE®Teste outside of the U.S. may choose to apply to the Master of Laws in Securities and Financial Regulation. While not required, preference is given to applicants with relevant legal experience. International students accepted to the Securities and Financial Regulation program will be expected to include the basic course, Securities Regulation, in the course of study for the LL.M., as well as the introductory course, U.S. Legal Discourse. International applicants who have an interest in studying U.S. Securities Regulation, but who do not have a strong securities background, are encouraged to apply to the LL.M. (general studies). If admitted, they may enroll in a course of study including appropriate courses in securities regulation as recommended and approved by the International Student Advisor.

Master of Laws in International Business and Economic Law

The LL.M. deGRE®Teste in International Business and Economic Law (IBEL) is a flexible deGRE®Teste program designed for students interested in cross-border business transactions and the regulatory regimes, national and international, that apply to them.  Students pursuing this deGRE®Teste are free to design their own program of study by selecting from more than 70 courses, with relatively few constraints imposed by fixed course requirements.  Students desiring a comprehensive overview may select courses from various disciplines, such as corporate law, securities law, trade law, commercial law, and dispute resolution.  Students desiring a more focused approach are free to concentrate their courses in one or more specialty areas.

The IBEL deGRE®Teste was created to offer a more flexible alternative to our existing LL.M. deGRE®Teste in Securities and Financial Regulation.  The latter deGRE®Teste requires a fairly heavy concentration in courses dealing with U.S. securities law, U.S. securities markets, the SEC enforcement process, and the regulation of U.S. securities professionals.  Satisfaction of the specialization requirements for this deGRE®Teste leaves students with relatively few elective credits to devote to courses in international project finance, international business transactions, international trade, and the like.  The IBEL deGRE®Teste, by contrast, affords students the opportunity to gain exposure to the fundamentals of U.S. securities law, while remaining free to explore in GRE®Testater depth other subjects relating to international business that may be of comparable interest to them.
