A Message from the Dean
Dean William M. Treanor
Georgetown Law is recognized globally as a
leader in scholarship, teaching, and educational programming that transcend borders.
Our graduates work in 140 countries around
the world, and we are committed to preparing
today’s students for a legal profession that will
only become more transnational in the years
and decades to come.
The array of course and seminar offerings at the
Law Center dealing with transnational, international, and comparative law is the most comprehensive
in the nation. They are taught by a distinguished
full time faculty at Georgetown that is joined by visiting scholars from around the world and by a wide
array of Washington D.C. practitioners from the
public and private sectors. The Law Center hosts
institutes dedicated to international economic law,
Asian law, Latin American law, human rights, global
health law, transnational law and global business
law, and national security law. Through activities
such as faculty research, courses, programs, and
publications, all contribute to the transnational
identity of Georgetown.
Georgetown offers extensive opportunities for
students in clinics, on law journals, and through
internships and study abroad programs that focus
on international, comparative, and transnational
law and policy. Law Center classes and activities
are enhanced by students who come here from approximately 60 countries and from every corner of
the globe.
Two innovations exemplify Georgetown’s ambitious transnational vision. Our “Week One: Law in
a Global Context” program introduces all first-year
J.D. students to a transnational legal problem that
builds upon the American law they have studied,
adding elements of foreign law, a foreign court or
international dispute resolution system, and role
playing.
Our leadership of the London-based Center
for Transnational Legal Studies, meanwhile, places
Georgetown students alongside counterparts from
more than 20 of the world’s premier law schools in
a semester-long exploration of transnational legal
issues. The setting is uniquely multicultural and
transnational, without any “host school,” “domestic
jurisdiction,” or “majority nationality.”
CTLS, launched in 2008, has now been honored by the Institute of International Education
with their prestigious Andrew Heiskell Award for
Innovation in International Education.
Located in the heart of the nation’s capital, but
engaged globally, Georgetown Law has created an
unparalleled environment for transnational education and scholarship.

The Georgetown Experience
Combining a world-renowned faculty, a dedication to intellectual
stimulation and community, and a location in the heart of the nation’s
capital, Georgetown is a unique place to study law.
Georgetown University Law Center seeks not only to impart the tools
of the lawyer’s trade, but also to foster reflection and inquiry into the
nature of law and the role and responsibility of lawyers in a global
society. The goal is education in its fullest sense – not only mastery
of “black letter law,” but a sense of the philosophical, political, social,
and ethical dimensions of the law, the awakening of an abiding curiosity about its nature.
Georgetown nurtures the very highest standards of scholarly inquiry,
intellectual rigor, and ethical behavior in a way that respects each
student’s individuality and fosters his or her interests and career
goals. The result is a dynamic intellectual community in which students have an unprecedented range of academic opportunities both
inside and outside the classroom.
From its unique vantage point within blocks of the U.S. Congress
that enacts laws, the Supreme Court that interprets them, and the
administrative agencies that enforce them, Georgetown provides its
faculty and students with unparalleled opportunities to explore the
dynamic legal processes of our nation and world.

Transnational Programs
Georgetown Law offers one of the largest transnational law programs in the world. With an
ideal location and a multi-building campus that
includes an international and comparative law
library, Georgetown Law is a leader in global
legal education.
The array of courses dealing with transnational,
international, and comparative law is extraordinarily comprehensive, numbering over 200. This
curriculum is generated and sustained by over
110 full-time faculty members, more than 40 of
whom are currently focused on transnational and
international curriculum subjects. These full-time
faculty members are joined by a large contingent of
distinguished Washington, D.C. practitioners from
inside and outside the government. In addition,
vibrant international Visiting Faculty and Visiting
Researcher programs bring numerous foreign law
scholars to the Law Center each year.
Paired with these extensive resources is a student body that includes over 200 foreign students
representing approximately 60 countries. Of these,
most are foreign trained lawyers enrolled in Georgetown’s advanced Master of Laws (LL.M.) programs.
Georgetown’s position at the forefront of transnational legal education is highlighted in two pathbreaking initiatives. The first, “Week One: Law
in a Global Context,” ensures that all Georgetown
graduates have an experiential understanding of the
complexities of transnational legal problems and the
kinds of inquiry through which they may be understood. It engages the entire first year J.D. class in a
week-long simulation exercise built around a multifaceted transnational legal problem. The program
blends U.S. law, foreign or international law, various
dispute resolution mechanisms, and structured
role-playing.
A second innovation, the London-based Center
for Transnational Legal Studies, offers a semesterlong opportunity to study transnational legal topics
4
G eo r get own Law
in a uniquely transnational setting. Georgetown
students join counterparts from select partner
schools on five continents and a truly transnational
faculty, drawn from many of those same schools, to
explore a curriculum specifically designed for those
intent on transnational careers.
Other transnational programs at Georgetown
include:
• Institutes and specialized academic programs,
such as the Human Rights Institute, the O’Neill
Institute for National and Global Health Law,
the Institute of International Economic Law,
Law Asia, the Center on Transnational Business
and the Law, the Center on National Security
and the Law, and the Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas.
• A Semester Abroad program that offers overseas
study opportunities to Georgetown J.D. students
at more than ten world-class foreign law schools
each year.
• An international summer internship program
that typically places 60-90 students with shortterm positions at NGOs, international organizations, law firms, and other organizations around
the world.
• A London-based Summer Program with a transnational curriculum.
• A Global Law Scholars program, offering special
transnational opportunities for select J.D.
students with advanced foreign language skills.
• Four clinics addressing cross-border issues such
as international human rights, political refugees,
national security, and the domestic impact of
international trade rules.
• Three law journals focusing on transnational
issues, including the Georgetown Journal of
International Law.
• A Visiting Researcher Program that supports
the Law Center’s position as a hub of scholars,
jurists and legal administrators from around
the world.
Justice Sandra day O’Connor
“This law school already has one
of the world’s most comprehensive
international and comparative law
programs... Georgetown Law is now
situated to be the leading global law
center in this country and perhaps
the world.”

Week One
Today’s lawyers must be prepared to deal with
legal problems that increasingly transcend national
boundaries and involve more than one legal system.
To prepare for this transnational environment, all
first-year students at Georgetown Law begin their
second semester with a one-week-intensive course
called “Week One: Law in a Global Context.”
During Week One, students analyze a complex transnational legal problem, ranging from the
extradition of suspected terrorists to a transnational
dispute that arose in cyberspace. The problembased learning in each of the Week One problems
involves not only U.S. law (typically related to the
students’ fall courses), but also exposure to various
transnational sources of law and dispute resolution
6
G eo r get own Law
mechanisms that the students may encounter in
the future. Each problem also emphasizes the importance of careful analysis of statutes, regulations,
or international agreements, as well as analysis of
case law.
Students attend large class lectures provided by
full-time faculty and participate in small break-out
sessions, facilitated by faculty and/or upper-level
Global Teaching Fellows, where the students engage
in interactive and skills-based learning. Within each
problem, students are assigned different lawyering roles. They are at times required to strategize
and collaborate with co-counsel, to negotiate with
opposing counsel, to draft agreements, or to argue a
motion in an arbitral or judicial hearing.
In January, 2012 more than a quarter of the fulltime faculty participated in Week One, as well as a
number of visiting and adjunct professors and guest
speakers. Nearly 70 upper-class students served as
Global Teaching Fellows.
Professor Julie rose O’Sullivan
Associate Dean, J.D. Program
“Georgetown Law’s focus on transnational, international, and comparative law has motivated me to
concentrate on International
Criminal Law. What moved me to
‘go international’ was Georgetown’s
strong and consistent institutional
emphasis on thinking and teaching
about law ‘across borders,’ combined with the variety of programs
and talks that daily enrich our
understanding of international and
transnational law here at
Georgetown.”

opportunities Abroad
Georgetown presents students with a broad array of opportunities to
study or work abroad. For example, a student can spend a semester
immersed in a truly transnational learning environment, surrounded
by classmates and faculty from five continents, at the ground-breaking Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London. Beforehand
or afterwards, that same student can enroll in Georgetown’s monthlong Summer Program in London or benefit from one of dozens of
international internships. Many possibilities also exist for studying
abroad for a semester at a world-class foreign law school or even to
earn a year-long concurrent degree in Paris.
Center for Transnational Legal Studies
In 2008, Georgetown Law spearheaded the launch
of the London-based Center for Transnational Legal
Studies (CTLS), a global partnership that currently
encompasses more than 20 leading law schools.
The initiative is premised on a belief that, as legal
practice becomes increasingly “transnational”, the
best legal education must include exposure to ideas,
faculty, and fellow students from many different
legal systems. In 2011, CTLS was recognized by
the Institute of International Education with the
Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education. It is the first law program to
receive this honor.
Leaders of the legal profession in this 21st
century need to understand law within the context
of different legal systems and different cultures.
These lawyers will increasingly be called upon to
advise businesses, individuals, non-governmental
entities, and governments in matters that involve
parties, laws, and judicial or arbitral bodies in two
or more jurisdictions. To prepare for careers that
transcend the borders of their home countries, they
need to develop transnational perspectives.
CTLS offers such perspectives in a manner unlike any conventional “study abroad” or international
exchange program. The Center’s academic purpose
is to examine transnational legal issues from within
a transnational educational context. Thus, while
the school is located in London and instruction
takes place in English, there is no “host school,” “local faculty,” or “domestic legal context.”

Professor David Luban
CTLS Co-director
“In today’s world people, culture, goods,
politics, and money cross borders more
than at any time in history —and law
travels with them. Global law is more
than a slogan or a sound bite. National
law reaches outside national territory,
legal systems borrow from one another,
and international law becomes ever
more prominent. At CTLS students and
faculty from many legal traditions explore
common legal problems of global law
in an uncommon way. With its emphasis
on collaborative work, CTLS provides a
unique opportunity to expand horizons
and forge new friendships in the setting
of a great world city.”
10

Opportunities Abroad
Instead, faculty and students alike are drawn
from a range of world-class law schools located in
Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. All are
encouraged to share their own “home jurisdiction”
perspectives on academic and other issues. Some
courses are co-taught by two instructors, specifically
to explore the contrasts in such perspectives. Others include projects structured to facilitate collaboration by students from different backgrounds. The
Center’s small size and multicultural orientation
provide the opportunity for students to learn in a
uniquely active, participatory way. Outside of class,
CTLS organizes professional networking and social
events with a similar goal.
At the core of the Center’s organizational
structure are its Founding Partner schools, which
contribute students and teaching faculty while also
providing governance and financial support. In
addition to Georgetown, Founding Partners currently include ESADE Law School (Spain); Free
University of Berlin (Germany); the University of
Fribourg (Switzerland); the Hebrew University of
Jerusalem (Israel); King’s College London (United
Kingdom); the University of Melbourne (Australia);
the National Autonomous University of Mexico;
the National University of Singapore; the University of Torino (Italy); and the University of Toronto
(Canada).
A number of additional Partner schools send
students as well, and their faculty members periodically teach at the Center. All Partner schools are
encouraged to engage academically via the annual
CTLS academic conference, occasional lectures,
and other activities. Individual students, meanwhile, are invited to apply to CTLS on an independent basis.
It is anticipated that approximately 80-100
students will enroll at the Center each semester,
with an average of 15-20 of these coming from
Georgetown. While the Center’s curriculum varies
from term to term, recent offerings have included
the following:
Advanced Property Law
EU Law
Introduction to Transnational Law
Brands and Commercial Reputation
Global Justice Seminar

Semester Study Abroad
J.D. students may also choose to study abroad for
a semester at one of twelve outstanding foreign law
schools with which Georgetown shares partnership agreements. The Semester Abroad program is
designed to offer students a variety of opportunities
to study international, transnational, and/or foreign
law while immersed in a foreign culture. Some
offer instruction in English, while others require
foreign language proficiency. All contribute to the
development of international and transnational legal
perspectives meant to prepare students for careers
that will take them beyond the borders of the
United States.
Georgetown currently has Study Abroad partnerships with the following institutions: Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires, Argentina;
Melbourne Law School in Australia; Tsinghua University Law School in Beijing, China; Bucerius Law
School in Hamburg, Germany; Hebrew University
of Jerusalem in Israel; National Law School of India
University in Bangalore; Keio Law School in Tokyo,
Japan; the University of Leiden and the University
of Amsterdam, both in The Netherlands; Yonsei

Master’s in Economic Law- Global
Governance Studies (Paris, France)
Georgetown is one of a small number of U.S. law
schools that participate in a year-long concurrent
degree program hosted in Paris by Sciences Po
Law School. Up to seven Law Center students
enroll each year, giving Georgetown the largest U.S.
presence in the program. The Sciences Po program
involves interactive, bi-lingual discussion in small
groups in which American students mingle with
their European counterparts. Some of the courses
are taught in French and some in English; American
students are offered optional linguistic support.
Sciences Po also provides assistance to students in
finding internships with law firms, businesses, and
other groups and agencies overseas.
Georgetown Law J.D. students apply during
the spring of their second year and then spend their
entire third year of legal studies in Paris. Upon their
successful completion of that year, the students
earn a French academic degree, the “Master’s
in Economic Law—Global Governance Studies
Specialization,” conferred by Sciences Po. This
degree will satisfy academic requirements to sit for
the French bar.

Summer Program in London
International Internship Program
Georgetown also offers exciting opportunities to
study law in London during the summer. Georgetown’s London Summer Program lasts approximately four weeks and, through its academic track,
offers transnationally-oriented law courses taught
by distinguished instructors from the United States
and abroad. Students earn up to 6 credits studying
topics such as “Introduction to International Law,”
“International Trade,” and “European Union Law .”
All Summer Program students enjoy a speaker
series and organized visits to legal landmarks such
as the Royal Courts of Justice, the Central Criminal Court, the British Parliament, and the Inns
of Court. Enrollment in the Summer Program is
limited to ensure small class sizes.
Many J.D. students, especially during the summer following their first year of studies, get direct
overseas work experience through Georgetown’s
International Internship Program. The program
typically places 60 to 90 students in internships
with international organizations, non-governmental
bodies, law firms, and businesses in over thirty-five
countries. Many of the internships offer some
type of remuneration, and the costs associated with
unpaid internships are partially offset through the
Law Center’s Equal Justice Foundation.

Global Law Scholars
The Global Law Scholars program is designed for
students preparing for an international or transnational practice in which they will regularly encounter problems that involve more than one legal
system. The aim is to combine language skills and
cultural familiarity with rigorous and directed legal
training to cultivate critical skills needed to practice
in the global legal environment of the 21st century.
The GLS program is small and selective,
admitting only about 20 to 25 students each year.
Applications are made at the same time as (but
separately from) applications for admission to
the J.D. program. Applicants must demonstrate
proficiency in a second language as well as English.
GLS participants pursue a specialized curriculum
of seven courses to satisfy program requirements.
Two of these courses have been created for, and are
restricted to, GLS students: a first-year seminar de-
CTLS Founding Partner school Cities: Torino
signed to introduce participants to different career
pathways through faculty and visitor presentations,
and a second-year seminar focused on specialized
skills sets (such as international legal research, comparative legal analysis, and international negotiations). As part of the latter, GLS students work on a
major research, writing, and advocacy project on an
international legal topic of their own choosing.
GLS students are also encouraged to take
advantage of the many opportunities Georgetown
Law offers for broadening and deepening their
knowledge and perspectives. These opportunities
include summer internships abroad after their first
year and externships during their second year, as
well as enrollment in the London-based Center for
Transnational Legal Studies or participation in the
Semester Abroad program. The GLS Program is
directed by Professor David P. Stewart.

Centers and Institutes
Learning and research are enriched by many centers, institutes,
and academic programs. They range from a focus on geographic
regions such as Asia and Latin America to specific legal areas such
as human rights, global health, and international economic law.
Outstanding scholars and students make these entities vibrant
parts of life at Georgetown.
Law Asia
Law Asia coordinates Georgetown University’s projects and programs relating to law and public policy
in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and greater
China (the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of China on Taiwan, and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao).
Law Asia’s mission is to encourage scholarly
communication between the faculty and students
of Georgetown and their counterparts in East Asia;
to focus the academic strengths of the Georgetown
law and foreign policy faculty on legal issues arising
out of Asia’s growing economic power; to ensure
that Georgetown’s graduates are equipped to practice competently and ethically in a global context
shared with the nations of East Asia; and to make its
expertise in law, legal pedagogy, and foreign policy
available to coming generations of U.S. and Asian
lawyers and policy makers.
Courses at the Law Center relating to Asia
in recent years have included Korean Law and
Comparative Intellectual Property; Chinese Law
Seminar; Japan/U.S. Comparative Legal Study;
Japanese Civil Procedure; U.S. – Japan Trade
Issues; Doing Business with China; East-West
Negotiations; and Changing Patterns of International Relations in Asia.
Law Asia also spearheads a variety of special
projects. One important aspect of these special
projects is to offer Georgetown’s expertise to East
Asian lawyers and policy makers. At the same time,
they also focus on offering students courses on
Asian models of legal and economic development
taught not only by Georgetown faculty but also by
faculty from counterpart universities and research
centers in Asia.
Center for the Advancement of the Rule
of Law in the Americas (CAROLA)
The Center for the Advancement of the Rule of
Law in the Americas (CAROLA) has as its mission
the promotion of the study of Latin American law
and legal institutions, both generally and within the
context of the movement to promote the rule of law
in the region. CAROLA builds on the Law Center’s
international expertise by fostering discussions of
rule of law and judicial reform by experts in both
the academic and practical arenas. It works with
faculty and J.D. students to enhance an awareness
and understanding of Latin American legal issues,
and to encourage teaching, studying, working, and
researching in the region.

Professor Barry carter
Director, Center on Transnational Business and the Law
“Georgetown offers a wonderful array
of centers and institutes to complement its unparalleled range of courses
and opportunities to study abroad.
Students and faculty, as well as the
broader legal and policy community,
find these centers and institutes an
attractive way to delve further into
cutting-edge international issues and
keep abreast of the latest legal developments. Through the Center on
Transnational Business and the Law,
for example, a student can participate
at Georgetown in a conference on the
latest developments in international
arbitration or sit in on a government
advisory committee meeting about the
implementation of international economic sanctions against Iran.”

Center on National Security and the Law
The Georgetown Center on National Security and
the Law combines innovative scholarly theory with
practical research, teaching and training, policy
analysis and development, outreach and engagement, impact litigation, and discussion and debate.
The Center aims to bridge the academic and
policy communities; bring together people from
relevant disciplines who study national security
law and related issues; produce a new generation
of scholars and legal practitioners who understand
the complexities of national security law; foster balanced nonpolitical examination of national securityrelated issues; and develop sophisticated strategies
and practical policies for both enhancing national
security and protecting constitutional values.
Our goal is intensely practical – to change the
dialogue from sloganeering debate into a mature
conversation that can build long-term solutions to
the problems posed by asymmetric warfare, rapid
technological and transportation changes, and religious extremism.
Center on Transnational Business
and the Law
The Center on Transnational Business and the Law
is dedicated to exploring the many challenging legal
and public policy issues faced by businesses that
operate across borders in today’s increasingly global
economic environment.
The Center organizes conferences and lectures,
encourages research, and hosts visiting scholars. A
robust outreach effort helps bring together corporate executives, private practitioners, government
officials, students, and scholars. Professors
Barry E. Carter and David P. Stewart are the
Center’s directors.
Recently, the Center organized a day-long conference on Transparency in International Arbitration
and another on the 2010 UNIDROIT Principles of
International Commercial Contracts. A third, in
conjunction with the Georgetown Journal of International Law, explored issues regarding Corporate
Social Responsibility and the Alien Tort Statute.
The Center also hosted a speech and discussion by a top Obama Administration trade official, a
public meeting of the Secretary of State’s Advisory
Committee on Private International Law (Prof.
Stewart is a member), and several public meetings
of the Sanctions Subcommittee (which Prof. Carter
chairs) of the Department of State’s Advisory Committee on International Economic Policy.
Among the Center’s on-going efforts are projects
related to financial and trade sanctions, privacy and
personal data protection in trans-border contexts,
19
proof of foreign law in international litigation, increasing U.S. exports, and encouraging investment
in the United States.
Human Rights Institute
The Human Rights Institute coordinates and
promotes Georgetown Law’s diverse human rightsrelated programs and activities. Among other things,
the Institute oversees an annual human rights factfinding and advocacy project; facilitates a weekly
meeting among student Associates and human
rights practitioners; organizes numerous conferences, workshops, and other events; and provides
curricular and professional guidance to students
interested in human rights. The Institute works
closely with Georgetown Law’s distinguished faculty
and active student-led human rights groups to
foster and support our school’s vibrant human
rights community. Institute of International Economic Law
The Institute of International Economic Law (IIEL)
was created in 1999, under the direction of Professor John H. Jackson, with the primary mission of encouraging research on international economic law.
20
G eo r get own Law
One of the Institute’s major activities is the IIEL
Fellows Program, which helps prepare students for
careers in international economic law. Each year,
the IIEL appoints a small number of outstanding
students and Visiting Researchers as IIEL Fellows. The goal of the IIEL Fellows Program is to
encourage scholarly research and to create a forum
for discussion of current issues, including issues
related to the World Trade Organization (WTO), the
global financial crisis, and the reform of international regulation of financial institutions. Fellows
are involved in research projects that are discussed
at regular meetings of the Fellows’ Workshop. The
Institute also sponsors a weekly luncheon seminar
that attracts well-known scholars and practitioners
as speakers.
The IIEL awards a Certificate in WTO Studies
to Georgetown Law students who fulfill special
course requirements on WTO related issues, as a
complement to their LL.M. and J.D. degrees. In
addition, the IIEL organizes the annual Academy
of WTO Law and Policy, a week-long, non-degree
professional development course on the legal obligations and policy underpinnings of the WTO and
its agreements.

The O’Neill Institute for National
and Global Health Law
The Linda D. and Timothy J. O’Neill Institute
for National and Global Health Law aims to find
innovative solutions for the most pressing health
concerns facing the nation and the world through
research, scholarship, and reflective engagement
with partners in the public and private sectors. The
Institute approaches the major problems of national
and global health from multiple innovative perspectives—breaking down barriers and artificial divides
between disciplines and changing traditional ways
of thinking. In keeping with Georgetown University’s mission of social justice, the Institute seeks
to reduce health disparities and improve health in
the United States and globally. The Institute is led
by Lawrence Gostin, Faculty Director and O’Neill
Professor of Global Health Law.
The O’Neill Institute seeks to influence policy
at the national, regional, and international levels.
Its audience is diverse, including health professionals, lawyers, legislators, judges, academics, policy
makers, and others. The Institute’s activities all aim
22
G eo r get own Law
to improve understanding about how the law affects
the prevention of disease and injury through policy
development, research, education, training, collaboration, and dissemination. By undertaking a diverse
portfolio of research and scholarship, the Institute
stimulates fresh, nonpartisan proposals for health
promotion and disease prevention.
The O’Neill Institute offers two innovative
LL.M. programs examining global health law issues:
Global Health Law, and Global Health Law and
International Institutions (this last LL.M. program in partnership with the Graduate Institute of
International and Development Studies in Geneva,
Switzerland). These are specialized degrees and,
perhaps, unique among elite academic institutions
in the world.
The O’Neill Institute also offers a new Summer Program in Global Health Law and Governance. Over a five-day period, the Summer
Program will bring together practitioners, policymakers, advocates and leading academics in global
health to learn the foundations of global health law
and governance.

graduate programs
Georgetown Law offers an unparalleled opportunity for lawyers to
broaden and deepen their understanding of law. Our extraordinary
faculty combines leading scholars with the top practitioners in their
field, along with judges and government officials. The depth of our
faculty allows us to offer hundreds of courses and seminars covering
everything from foundational issues in jurisprudence to the cuttingedge questions that arise in the most sophisticated legal practice.
In addition, LL.M. students are eligible to earn academic credit for
externships with government agencies, non-profit organizations,
and law firms.
Our talented LL.M. students bring exemplary academic credentials
and a broad range of practice experience from throughout the
United States and around the world. In 2011, about 200 international LL.M. students came to Georgetown Law from approximately
60 countries. Many international LL.M. students participate in
Foundations of American Law and Legal Education, a five-week
summer program specifically designed to introduce LL.M. students
to the U.S. legal system.
International students pursuing an LL.M. may also benefit from the
Georgetown Center for Global Legal English. Staffed by a team of
professionals with degrees in both law and linguistics, the center
offers a range of programs and courses designed to enhance lawyers’
competence in written and spoken English.

offers a variety of degree options. Students may
choose to pursue an LL.M. degree in Global Health
Law, International Business and Economic Law,
International Legal Studies, National Security Law,
Securities and Financial Regulation, or Taxation.
Students also have the opportunity to concentrate
within one of the designated fields of study through
a certificate program. Certificates are available in
International Tax, Employee Benefits Law, Estate
Planning, State and Local Taxation, International
Arbitration and Dispute Resolution, International
Human Rights Law, Refugees and Humanitarian
Emergencies, and World Trade Organization Studies.
Students whose TOEFL scores fall just below
the minimum for admission can apply to Georgetown’s unique two-year LL.M. program, in which
students spend the first year enhancing their command of English as it is used in legal practice. At
the end of that year, students receive a certificate in
Legal English. In the second year, they complete
the regular LL.M. program.
Georgetown offers a limited number of fellowships in certain areas of study, including International Economic Law, Global Health Law, and
Taxation. Some fellowships include financial
26

support, and others offer primarily programmatic
opportunities.
The Leadership and Advocacy for Women in
Africa (LAWA) Fellowship Program provides
advanced training to women’s human rights lawyers
who are committed to returning to their home countries to work to promote equality, justice and the
rule of law. Since its launch in 1993, 70 women’s
rights lawyers from 14 African countries have
participated in the LAWA Program. In addition to
earning an LL.M., the LAWA Fellows write a major
thesis on a women’s rights topic relevant to their
home country, have the opportunity to gain practical experience with an American women’s rights
organization, and participate in bi-weekly seminars
and professional training with their American
counterparts in the Women’s Law and Public Policy
Fellowship Program.
The highest degree awarded by Georgetown
Law is the Doctor of Juridical Sciences (S.J.D.).
S.J.D. candidates spend two years in residence
focused on a combination of coursework in their
fields, a methods seminar geared to the research
and writing of a dissertation, and directed research
and writing. Admission to the S.J.D. program is
highly selective; only applicants with an LL.M. from
an American law school are eligible.
Nodir Zakirov
LL.M. Student
“Georgetown’s diverse student body is
comprised of individuals with extraordinary intellectual gifts, outstanding
academic credentials and cultural backgrounds from around the world. At
Georgetown, you will probably be active
in at least one student organization or
create your own, learn a few phrases in
several foreign languages, and you will
take away with you friendships that will
last forever.”

Further learning opportunities
As a leader in legal education, Georgetown Law offers its students
a variety of transnational learning opportunities. In addition to
the possibilities identified earlier, there are a range of joint degree
programs, clinics dealing with transnational issues, and several law
journals with an international focus. A Visiting Researcher program
brings visitors with a variety of interests to the Law Center from
around the world.
JOINT DEGREES
Clinical Programs
Georgetown Law sponsors a number of concurrent
and joint degree programs. These allow students
to pursue studies leading to a J.D. while simultaneously working towards an additional graduate degree
in law or a second field. Several of these programs
have an international focus:
• J.D./LL.M. in International Business
and Economic Law
• J.D./LL.M. in National Security Law
• J.D./LL.M. in Securities and
Financial Regulation
• J.D./LL.M. in Taxation
• J.D./M.A. in Arab Studies
• J.D. /M.A. in Eurasian, Russian,
and East European Studies
• J.D./M.S. in Foreign Service
• J.D./M.A. in German and European Studies
• J.D./M.A. in Latin American Studies
• J.D./M.A. in Security Studies
The International Women’s Human Rights
Clinic (IWHRC)
The International Women’s Human Rights Clinic
(IWHRC) utilizes law students and faculty to support and advance women’s human rights globally
through partnerships with local women’s human
rights organizations and attorneys. The IWHRC
provides national, comparative, and international
legal analysis to support constitutional challenges,
impact litigation, submissions to international treaty
monitoring bodies, and legislative reform of sexdiscriminatory laws and practices.
Since its inception in 1998, the IWHRC has
worked closely with partners in more than a dozen
countries addressing a wide range of issues affecting
women and girls, including property and inheritance
rights, harmful traditional practices, violence against
women, and gender impact of HIV.
Center for Applied Legal Studies (CALS)
CALS represents refugees seeking political asylum
in the United States because of threatened persecution in their home countries. Students in CALS
29
Further learning Opportunities
assume primary responsibility for the representation
of these refugees, whose requests for asylum have already been rejected by the U.S. government. Working
in pairs, students interview the client; research the
human rights record of the country of origin; develop
documentary and testimonial records showing that
the client either suffered past persecution or will
suffer future persecution if forced to return; locate
and prepare witnesses; and represent the client at a
hearing before a federal immigration judge.
Harrison Institute for Public Law
The Harrison Institute works with public officials
and nonprofit organizations on trade policy, health
policy, climate policy, and conservation of natural
resources. Internationally, the Institute helps
public officials assess the impact of trade policy
on domestic governance, influence international
negotiations on investment and services, and
develop initiatives that can shape the global
economy. Recent collaborators or clients include
the South Centre (Geneva), the Forum on
Democracy and Trade, the Heinrich Boell Foundation, and the International Labor Organization.
Community Justice Project
The Community Justice Project engages students in
a wide range of transnational and comparative law
activities in partnership with foreign law school clinics or non-governmental organizations. The clinic’s
students have collaborated with counterparts from
Egypt’s Alexandria Law School on a comparative
analysis of the impact of family courts on access to
justice. Other clinic students have partnered with an
Indian NGO on emerging rights issues for sexually

marginalized people, doing legal analysis, developing
surveys, and conducting focus groups with affected
individuals in Baroda, India. On such international
projects, clinic students communicate with overseas
clients and partners by internet during the academic
year and then, later, further their understanding
through direct experience in the country.
Visiting Researcher Program
Georgetown Law’s Visiting Researcher Program
serves the research needs of a wide variety of scholars, advanced students, and others from throughout
the world each year. These Visiting Researchers
come to Georgetown to gain access to the Law Center’s renowned libraries, faculty, and facilities.
Georgetown Law accepts a small number of Visiting Researchers each year. The candidates are typically experienced legal scholars on leave from their
current academic position or, less frequently, younger
academics (often doctoral candidates) or others who
wish to conduct research and to consult informally
with Georgetown Law faculty.
Visiting Researchers are given access to the
libraries, Westlaw, LexisNexis, and may audit up to
one course per semester. Depending on availability
they may also be given space to call their own in one
of Georgetown Law’s libraries.
Tori Andrea
J.D. Student
“Georgetown’s emphasis on experiential learning taught me first-hand
the skills I will need as a zealous
advocate. Through international
clinical work with the Center for
Applied Legal Studies, I received
training in persuasive argumentation, client interaction, strategic litigation, and courtroom presentation.
I now feel empowered to pursue the
social justice goals that brought me
to law school in the first place.”

LAW JOURNALS
Georgetown University Law Center publishes
11 legal journals annually. The central mission in
their publication is to provide timely and relevant
scholarly articles, student notes, and comments
pertaining to areas of professional legal interest. Of
these journals, several are devoted to international
legal issues.
The Georgetown International
Georgetown Journal of International
Law (GJIL)
The Georgetown Journal of International Law,
formerly Law & Policy in International Business, is
the second oldest topical journal at the Law Center.
The journal examines a range of topics in the fields
of public and private international law. GJIL publishes four annual issues that serve as an invaluable
resource to scholars, corporate and international
bars, and practitioners.
Environmental Law Review (GIELR)
Environmental issues do not recognize political
boundaries, nor do they respect territorial integrity.
Attempts to confront and resolve global and transboundary environmental problems have created the
need for a legal forum to provide analyses of these
issues. GIELR was created to meet this need. Each
publication contains timely information designed
for the practitioner and scholar of international and
environmental law.

Georgetown Immigration Law Journal
(GILJ)
The Georgetown Immigration Law Journal is a
scholarly publication dedicated to the advancement
of legal knowledge in the field of immigration law.
Published quarterly, the Journal explores and critically analyzes international and domestic events as
they shape the field of immigration law. Each issue
features articles by scholars and legal practitioners,
as well as student notes and a review of current
developments in immigration law.

“A lot of people come to law school
to ‘learn to think like a lawyer.’ That
means very different things in different
countries. My experience at Sciences Po
taught me how French and other European lawyers approach problems — an
invaluable skill for someone planning a
career in transnational law.”
