University Of Buffalo Law School Extends Curriculum For International Students

Las Vegas, NV, September 15, 2014 (Newswire.com) - This September, the University of Buffalo Law School extended the curriculum offered to international law students. This comes as no surprise given the university's long-standing reputation for "innovative, international legal education."

The first program is the Double LLM. The second is the Advanced Standing Two-Year JD for Internationally Trained Lawyers program. The launch of the two programs was done in to further the university's presence in the world of global legal education.

The Double LLM program makes it possible for French students from Lyon to earn one law degree in Buffalo and one in Lyon, France simultaneously. 

The Advanced Standing program is designed for international law students who already have a law degree from a school outside of the U.S. This program makes it so that these students can strive for advanced standing at UB and receive a Juris Doctor degree in two years instead of three. 

This program option is ideal for students with visas that limit the amount of time they are able to remain in the U.S. for study. To date, only two students have been admitted to the program. That number is sure to increase one news of the existence of the program spreads.

This expansion of UB's international program adds to the university's already extensive global reach. A program that joins the University of Buffalo and the University of Glasgow schools of law is one that is particularly well-known.
