LL.M. in International Trade Law / WTO Law

Usually a one-year, full-time program, an LL.M. in International Trade Law / WTO Law typically focuses on public international law (where it intersects with trade law), as well as regulatory bodies like the World Trade Organization (WTO). It can be a great degree for many students, and is especially suited for law professionals whose interests lie in trade treaties, the economic relations between states, or the laws that govern trade.

Typically, an LL.M. in International Trade Law will cover a variety of topics in business, commerce, investments, and more. The programs in this field might include classes in International Economic Law, International Tax Law, International Commercial Arbitration, Investment Law, and more. Some degrees might also offer specific courses addressing important regulatory bodies, such as the WTO.

Besides topical classes, some International Trade Law LL.M.s might also offer students the opportunity to complete a thesis or research project in their field of interest. Other master's degree programs might also offer internship components, so that students can get hands-on experience in international trade law. 

Students who graduate with an LL.M. in International Trade Law have a range of career options. Some students opt to practice law in a law firm that focuses on international investments or has commercial clients who operate internationally; others might go on to successful careers at the WTO or other regulatory bodies.
