The Master of Laws program is designed for students who wish to take full advantage of NYU’s extraordinarily wide range of course offerings and the diverse research interests of our faculty. Candidates pursuing the Master of Laws have the freedom to choose courses that match their intellectual interests. Of course, this does not mean that they need to abandon their specialized career goals in corporate, international, trade or other fields. For instance, students in this program can still take a good number of international classes while sampling classes in other areas. Students also have the option of expanding a typical research assignment into a master’s thesis, culminating their training with a significant scholarly work.Our professors challenge students to explore different approaches to the very manner in which law is conceived, legal process is perceived, and the world of legal practice is understood. Students in the Master of Laws program draw on truly remarkable curricular diversity, taking courses from Constitutional Law to Corporations, from International Business Transactions to International Human Rights Law, from Economic Analysis of Law to Environmental and Energy Law, from Criminal Law to Legal Philosophy, and from Intellectual Property to International Criminal Law.
