6/18/03 NORTHWESTERN LAW WELCOMES INTERNATIONAL LLM/KELLOGG STUDENTS

Northwestern Law welcomes its sixth class in the Graduate Program in Law and Business, also known as the LLM/Kellogg program. Twenty-two students from 12 countries – Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Turkey – arrived for orientation on Wednesday, June 18, 2003.

Designed for business lawyers educated outside the United States, the 12-month LLM/Kellogg program offers students a unique opportunity to study both business law and management techniques at two of America’s leading schools in the fields of law and business – the Law School and the Kellogg School of Management. Graduates of the program are awarded a master of laws (LLM) and a certificate in business administration.

Students begin this summer taking Business Associations (taught by Rick Brooks) and a modified Communication and Legal Reasoning course (taught by adjunct Alan Lepp). They will also take Math Methods for Management Decisions and Accounting for Decision Making from Kellogg faculty.

Students enrolled in the LLM/Kellogg program are experienced international corporate lawyers with an average of about four years of work experience. Some have been in-house lawyers, associates in large law firms; others have worked for banks, government agencies, and large corporations.

Northwestern Law is preparing them for a world where international lawyers and businesses drive significant political and economic changes as they open markets, put investment capital to new uses, and challenge human rights abuses.
