The
Lazarski University LL.M. in Transnational Commercial Practice
provides an emphasis on international business, trade, dispute
resolution, and the crossborder practice of law. A concentration
in American law is offered within the LL.M. program for non-U.S.
lawyers. The LL.M. requires the satisfaction of 21 credits over
three cycles in a two- to three-year period. Cycles I and II are
taught in Salzburg, Austria, each March by faculty provided by the
Center for International Legal Studies (CILS), Lazarski
University, and Salzburg University. Selected participants may
qualify to complete Cycle II in Budapest, Hungary, offered each
June, with faculty provided by Boston University. Cycle III is
taught in Warsaw, Poland, in April by faculty provided by Lazarski
University.
The next Cycles I and II will be conducted
17-30 March
2013 at the Leopoldskron Palace, the CILS venue for academic
programs in Salzburg. The next Cycle III will be conducted 7-20 April 2013 at Lazarski University in Warsaw. Cycle II credits also
may be absolved by selected participants at the Boston University
sessions each June at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. The
next Boston University Cycle II session will be conducted 16-29
June 2013 in Budapest. Six credits are to be absolved at
each Cycle for a total of 18 credits. The remaining three credits
may be absolved during the two- or three-year period by
undertaking a directed research project or by participating in any
two of CILS' several continuing legal education programs offered
annually in Europe, North America, and other venues throughout the
world.
The Center for
International Legal Studies has more than
5,000 lawyer members throughout the world. The Law Faculty of
Lazarski University has been ranked first among Polish law schools
for the last three years. Boston University School of Law was
established in 1872 and ranks in the top 20 of more than 200 law
schools accredited by the American Bar Association. Eötvös
Loránd University was founded in 1635 and is Hungary's leading
law school.
The
Advantage
The
three Central European locations (Budapest, Salzburg, and Warsaw) and
the two-week session format provide a great advantage to those who
cannot take a year away from their work, who cannot afford a year
in the United States, and/or who may have difficulty obtaining a
visa to study in the United States. Even in the case of the dual
degree option (LL.M. from Lazarski University in Transnational Commercial Practice and Executive LL.M. from Boston University in
International Business Law), the total tuition for two degrees is significantly less than
the cost a year of LL.M. study undertaken in the United States for a single
degree.
