The Program

Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Dispute Resolution

The Masters of Laws or LL.M. is an advanced law degree available exclusively for attorneys or judges. Applicants for our LL.M. program must have completed the first degree of law required to practice or teach law. For candidates in the United States this requires a JD degree from an ABA-accredited law school.

The LLM in Dispute Resolution is considered the premier program in dispute resolution and offers students the most amount of flexibility in their dispute resolution education. This 26-unit program is structured with a balance of theory and practice; students will focus on a variety of ADR mechanisms including negotiation, mediation and arbitration, as well as gain practice through the requisite Mediation Clinic and Externship program.

Students can follow a more general course of study without a concentration, or declare a concentration in mediation, arbitration or litigation.

Master of Laws (LL.M.) in International Commercial Arbitration

The LLM in International Commercial Arbitration is designed to combine a robust academic foundation, a capstone practice experience in which every student will compete in an international arbitration competition, methodical examination and practice of the negotiation and mediation processes, and enough electives for students to be able to take electives to sit for the New York or California bar exam.

The program is headed by Faculty Director Prof. Jack Coe, and will enable students to be exposed to the most current developments in the field through some of its most reputable professionals, such as our Academic Director Prof. Thomas Stipanowich, and Profs. Jasper Kim, Catherine Rogers, Linda Silberman, John Crook, and Lucy Reed, amongst others.

Master of Laws (LL.M.) in International Commercial Law and Arbitration

The LLM in International Commercial Law and Arbitration (ICLA) is designed for students who want to develop expertise in both business law and international commercial arbitration*.

Master of Dispute Resolution

The Master of Dispute Resolution (MDR) program provides practical dispute resolution training for candidates who do not have a law background or degree. Students in the MDR program consist of people from a variety of professions including business and other graduate students, executives, human resource professionals, doctors, psychologists, peacemakers and social workers. Through the MDR students will gain experience through the required Externship program and Mediation Clinic class. Students can also delve deeper into specialty areas including Labor, Dispute Resolution Systems Design, Ombuds and more. Please refer to course descriptions for a full list of courses.

The MDR Program is a 32 unit program that can be completed in 1 year as a full-time student.

Certificate in Dispute Resolution

The Certificate program is a 14 unit program consisting of foundational courses in Mediation, Negotiation and Arbitration. Students can complete the program full-time in one semester or over three years as a part-time student. Attorneys and Judges who participate in the Certificate program are looking for more depth than can be provided by professional training programs and the additional credibility of the Academic Certificate Program. Those that complete the Certificate program and want additional training can reapply for our LL.M., and if accepted can transfer their Certificate units into the LL.M. program.

For more information please visit our Academic Programs website.

The University

Pepperdine University is an independent, medium-sized university enrolling approximately 7,700 students in five colleges and schools. Seaver College, the School of Law, the Graduate School of Education and Psychology, the Graziadio School of Business and Management, and the School of Public Policy are located on the University's 830-acre campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu. Courses are taught in Malibu, at four graduate campuses in Southern California, permanent program facilities in Washington, D.C., and at international campuses in Germany, England, Italy, Switzerland, Argentina, and China.

The University was founded in 1937 by George Pepperdine, a Christian businessman who founded the Western Auto Supply Company. For the first 30 years of its life, the institution was a small, mostly undergraduate college. University status was achieved in 1970 as the institution added graduate and professional schools. In 1972, the University opened its new campus in Malibu.

In addition to the academic program, the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution offers professional skills training for off campus constituencies. The Institute has provided negotiation, mediation, and dispute resolution skills training programs for law firms, bar associations, governmental agencies, judiciary, and community groups. The entertaining presentation style, participatory format, and frequent use of simulated exercises to reinforce learning points, has caused the Institute's training programs to be in very high demand.

One of the most popular of these programs is Mediating the Litigated Case, a six-day program offered two or three times a year. In addition, every summer the Institute offers a collection of simultaneous three-day programs on various aspects of negotiation, mediation and arbitration.

Pre-LLM Course

U.S. Law and Legal Writing Seminar

The Straus Institute at the Pepperdine University School of Law also offers the U.S. Law and Legal Writing Seminar for international students and law professionals.

The program will enable international applicants to LL.M. programs, international lawyers, judges and law professionals to improve their ability in the English language, as well as deepen their understanding of the U.S legal system. Such knowledge is crucial to being able to fully understand and participate in English speaking professional activities, or LL.M. programs.

The U.S. Law and Legal Writing Seminar program is a 4-week program that will be offered July 12th - August 3rd. Classes will meet daily from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Thursday.The morning sessions will be taught by faculty from the Pepperdine University School of Law and will consist of a 1 1/2-hour course on Legal Research and Writing and another 1 1/2-hour course on U.S. Legal Vocabulary and Concepts. From 2pm to 5pm, the focus is on mastering English speaking, listening, reading and writing abilities. This aspect of the program will be presented in cooperation with faculty from the American Language Center at UCLA.

In addition to the daily courses, the program will include weekly extra-curricular professional and cultural activities. Students will have the opportunity to engage in site visits to Disneyland, the Hollywood Bowl, the John Paul Getty Museum, and to a Dodgers game, as well as to the Los Angeles Superior Court, JAMS, an interview with a sitting judge, and a panel discussion with lawyers with specialty in International Law practice.

During the duration of the program, students will be housed at the beautiful Pepperdine University Malibu Campus, and will have full access to the library and other academic resources.

The U.S. Law and Legal Writing Seminar program is not for academic credit and is designed to benefit LL.M. applicants who were not able to reach the minimum TOEFL or IELTS score requirements for their target schools. The Straus Institute may invite some LL.M. and M.D.R. applicants to participate in the U.S. Law and Legal Writing Seminar program so that their English language abilities can be better assessed, which could ultimately result in admission to Straus' academic programs. Students who are not ready for graduate academic study at the conclusion of the Seminar program may be offered admission to a Straus' academic program upon completing the UCLA ongoing English learning program.

International students planning to study law in the U.S. or prepare to take California or New York bar examinations will also benefit from the program by learning many of the pertinent aspects of the American legal system and U.S. Law.
