Overview

Key Facts

The Law program at University of Notre Dame provides an opportunity to study the legal system of the United States in a traditional U.S. law school environment. It also offers students an opportunity to enhance their legal education.

It equips international students with a fundamental understanding of American law and culture as they enter the global legal market. It allows students from the U.S. to deepen their knowledge of an area of law they have already studied, or to specialize in a new area of law.

Many of our international students choose to take the New York bar exam, others use their education to teach outside the United States, and a select number of post-J.D. students use the Notre Dame LL.M. opportunity to develop a specialty.
