Global
Bringing the world to NYU and NYU to the world
Global problems need global solutions, and the Law School is leading the way on issues as diverse as international human rights, law and development, cross-border investment disputes and climate change.
NYU Law is committed to preparing students to work in a global setting. Our students get direct exposure to global legal issues both in the classroom and beyond it. The Law School’s curriculum includes an unsurpassed array of courses, clinics and colloquia in international, comparative and foreign law. At the graduate level we offer specialized LL.M. programs in International Legal Studies, International Business Regulation, Litigation and Arbitration, and International Taxation, as well as our dual master’s program for business lawyers in Singapore (NYU@NUS).
The curriculum we offer in New York is complemented by opportunities for NYU Law students to study abroad in places like Argentina and China and to work abroad in Law School-sponsored internships or fellowships at organizations such as the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. For JD students these opportunities are organized under the rubric of our innovative International Immersion Program.
The Law School’s intellectual reach is global in scope. The Hauser Global Law School Program brings leading law professors from around the world to teach at NYU. These Global faculty are joined by a diverse array of researchers, fellows and scholars from other countries, as well as more than 300 international students, including the top-ranking Hauser Scholars. Centers such as the Center for Constitutional Transitions, the Center for Human Rights & Global Justice, the Center for Transnational Litigation and Commercial Law, the Institute for International Law and Justice, and the Jean Monnet Center for International and Regional Economic Law & Justice regularly sponsor conferences and research programs on issues of global concern, involving NYU Law students as well as faculty, in New York and around the globe.
