Overview

Some of the subject areas available to students in this programme include public international law, private international law, dispute resolution, international business or international human rights. Students of the Comparative Legal Studies programme at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University may also choose the Specialization in International Business Law or the Specialization in US Legal Practice

Regardless of where you may work as a lawyer, you will find that legal matters increasingly involve persons, events, entities and rules from more than one jurisdiction. In this complex environment, it is no longer enough for a lawyer to just be an expert in his or her own law. A successful transnational lawyer must also have good language and intercultural skills, plus a solid knowledge of at least one other major legal system.
