The complexity of transnational business and the growing significance of international organizations underscore the need for lawyers to be well versed in international and comparative law. Willamette's Certificate Program in International Law was designed to prepare students to meet the challenges of legal careers in an increasingly global profession. The program allows students to engage in an intensive study of international law, conflicts of laws, international business transactions, and private international law. See Learning Outcomes for details.
Admission to the Program
All students are eligible to apply for the program. Students must submit an online application. In that application, students must attest to their academic good standing (i.e. cumulative GPA above 2.30), and provide a 250-word personal statement explaining why they wish to pursue their certificate. The director of the program reserves the discretion to cap the size of the programs, based on advising capacity and capstone course availability. Please contact the Program Director, Professor James A.R. Nafziger, for further information
