JD Certificate Program in International Legal Studies

The Pacific McGeorge JD Certificate in International Legal Studies is distinctive because the curriculum has equal strength in public international law (relations between states) and private international law (transnational business). This affords students a decided advantage, because intersections between public and private law are increasing as economic development and globailization spawns cross-border disputes over natural resources.
