LLM Law & Government
The LLM Program, which was founded in 1998, offers students an opportunity to pursue graduate legal work on U.S. public law. It is a 24-credit degree program which students can choose to pursue full-time (and complete in one year) or part-time (and complete at their own pace). The flexible LLM curriculum encourages students to design courses of study in the broad areas of civil and constitutional rights, business and financial regulation (including banking, trade, securities, tax, and antitrust law and policy), and administrative law and regulatory practice (including health law and policy, labor and employment law and policy, intellectual property and information policy, environmental law and policy, and immigration law and policy).
Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project
Founded with the enthusiastic support of Mrs. Thurgood Marshall and the late Mrs. William Brennan, the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project mobilizes talented second- and third- year law students to teach a course on the U.S. Constitution in the public high schools of the District of Columbia and Maryland. Since it's inception in 1999, the Project has developed chapters in law schools and states across the country, including Arizona, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
SJD Program
The Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) Program selects outstanding students prepared to write a doctoral-level thesis in law, who will make original contributions to the legal literature, and who have a strong intellectual commitment to advanced legal study. Applicants are generally required to hold both a JD or JD-equivalent degree and an LLM.
Summer Institute on Law and Government
The Summer Institute is a new two-week program, scheduled for June 21-July 1, 2010, for both experienced practitioners and law students who are serious about law and public service. The program is open to law students from the Washington College of Law and to other students looking to enhance their educational experience while in the nation's capital. The first week will focus on the unique nature of practicing law in Washington, D.C., and the second week will explore the way the financial crisis is reshaping the financial regulatory landscape.
