BU Adds Optional IP and Arbitration Courses to Executive LL.M.

Boston University School of Law (BU Law) has announced it has added two new optional courses in International Arbitration and International Intellectual Property Law to its Executive LL.M. in International Business Law program, which will launch in March 2011.

According to the law school, the Intellectual Property Law course will examine "legal protection of inventions, creative expression and other kinds of information," and will "introduce students to patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets."

The International Arbitration course "will cover arbitration from inception in the contractual drafting through the mechanics of the dispute resolution process to the enforcement stage, with some consideration of other alternative dispute resolution techniques."

The Executive LL.M. program will blend online learning with two-week blocks of on-campus teaching.
