About the course

More than 500 lawyers from over 100 countries have graduated from our LL.M. Program in International Human Rights Law ? a joint program of Notre Dame Law School and the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights. Our graduates? commitment to human rights, as well as the rigor and richness of their academic life at Notre Dame Law School, has established our LL.M. program as among the most prominent in the world. Our graduates are regularly selected to clerk for regional human rights courts as well as to work at the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, among other important global appointments.

　　Applicants to our LL.M. are inspired by their compassion for victims of human rights violations, but often lack the technical skills and theoretical grounding required for strategic human rights lawyering. Ensuring that our students gain competency in the substantive and procedural aspects of international human rights law is our first priority. As the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh, C.S.C., said of lawyers during the dedication of the Notre Dame Law School library, ?compassion without competence would be a cruel hoax upon those they serve.?
