Curriculum
Because Harvard Law School faculty's expertise and research interests range across jurisdictional and disciplinary borders, so does the curriculum.
HLS offers several degree programs, all of which provide students with significant opportunities to study international, comparative and foreign law. These programs include: the three-year J.D. (Juris Doctor) program, the one-year LL.M. (Master of Laws) and the S.J.D. (Doctor of Juridical Science). Within these frameworks, students may draw on the more than 280 offerings at the Law School, including over 75 courses and reading groups in which international, comparative or foreign law plays an important role. And hundreds of students take part in law clinics, many focused on international matters. The Law School also provides an array of opportunities for students to conduct research or study abroad, and take classes elsewhere at Harvard University, the Fletcher School at Tufts University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, through cross-registration and enrollment in joint degree programs.
