About the course

Our LL.M. program is designed to offer foreign legal professionals the opportunity to broaden their effectiveness through the study of US laws and the American legal process. Students who complete the degree requirements will receive a Master of Laws (LL.M.) with a transcript and diploma indicating the LL.M. degree was conferred.

　　You may complete the LL.M. degree in two or three semesters and specialize your studies in a variety of areas, or in no particular area at all. In addition to the core LL.M. degree requirements, our academic and faculty advisers will provide guidance in helping you select those courses and opportunities that will help meet your personal and professional goals.

　　This area of concentration, sponsored by the Disability Law and Policy Program (DLPP), draws on the expertise of faculty throughout Syracuse University, which is one of the leading universities worldwide in disability studies, law and policy.

　　Throughout the world today, countries are working to develop and implement laws and policies to integrate people with disabilities into society. Such efforts are driven in large part by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, which has been ratified by 150 countries. Despite such efforts, disability legal expertise is rare in many countries in the world. This concentration in international, comparative, and domestic disability law seeks to fill this gap by preparing practitioners, policy makers, government lawyers, and legal academics to advance the rights of people with disabilities in their respective countries.
