LL.M. students take most of their classes together with UNC law students, sharing their international perspective with and learning American law from UNC faculty and students. Legal areas in which LL.M. students may concentrate their law studies at UNC include:
- Corporate and Commercial Law
- Banking and Finance
- Intellectual Property
- Environmental Law
- Health Care Law
- Human Rights and Civil Rights Law
- International and Comparative Law
- Public Law and Regulation
In addition to the UNC law curriculum, LL.M. students may also receive instruction outside the law school, taking advantage of opportunities in other departments on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. The LL.M. program encourages collaboration between its students and University faculty and students, particularly those in business school and international studies.
