The LLM program allows one year of post-JD study tailored to the scholarly and practice interests of participating students.

The program draws on the unique focus of the center and the faculty's international and transnational legal expertise in global health, the environment, human rights, trade and emerging technologies. The program emphasizes transdisciplinary study and links rigorous legal training with the research and scholarship drawn from political science, policy studies, anthropology and sustainability.

Students can take a wide variety of courses on international topics, ranging from international environmental law to international human rights law to international institutions. These include business-related courses such as international contracts, international taxation, international commercial arbitration and international business transactions.

Student who participate in externships gain practical experience that makes them more competitive for jobs at home and abroad. ASU Law can place every eligible enrolled student into an externship at organizations in Arizona (https://law.asu.edu/locations/phoenix) or Washington, D.C., like the U.S. State Department, World Bank, International Rescue Committee, Department of Homeland Security and Human Rights First. ASU Law DC-based externship opportunities are available to view here: https://law.asu.edu/experiences/externships. The opportunity for students to network with international decision-makers, opinion leaders and top practitioners is further amplified through ASU's large presence in Washington, D.C. (https://washingtondc.asu.edu/#why-is-asu-in-washington-dc).

Students can develop professionally by engaging with globally minded leaders in the legal, government and business communities. For instance, the Phoenix Committee on Foreign Relations hosts events and other forums for select students to engage with prominent leaders and practitioners on trending international issues.

Each year, the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law holds a workshop with the American Red Cross on international humanitarian law that brings students, members of the military and community leaders together to learn more about the principles governing armed conflict.
