In the 2011-2012 academic year, Trinity College Dublin will offer a new LL.M. degree on International and European Business Law. This degree will include a range of modules including Advanced EU Law, Corporate Governance, Cross-Border Commercial Litigation in Europe, Corporate Governance, EU FInancial Services Law, Principles of Corporate Insolvency Rescue, Internet Law and Regulation, Employment litigation and European Intellectual Property Law.

This dedicated European Business Law Masters will be available as an alternative to the existing LL.M. (General Degree). It will be of interest to lawyers wishing to secure an in depth knowledge of European Business Law and the environment in which it operates. TCD is also offering a dedicated LL.M. in International and Comparative Law next year.

Some more info on the new LL.M. degree in International and European Business Law at Trinity College Dublin.

There are about 25 different options available to students on this particular degree course. Students choose three options in the first term and three in the second. Students are also obliged to produce a 25,000 word dissertation on the business-oriented legal subject of their choice. The dissertation counts for 25% of the student's final grade in the degree examinations.

Last academic year (2010-2011), the fees for the TCD LL.M. worked out at just over Euro 8,000 per annum (for EU students ; non-EU students pay higher fees). It is anticipated that the fees for the new International and European Business Law LL.M. will be similar.

Just a quick update in relation to the new Business Law LL.M. at Trinity College Dublin. Two new options have been added to the list of courses available in the context of this one year postgraduate degree: EU Aviation Law and Corporate, White-Collar and Regulatory Crime.

This is a group for those doing the LLM at TCD this year :)
