Agriculture Law LL.M. Program

Food, Farming & Sustainability: The LL.M. Program in Agricultural & Food Law

The University of Arkansas School of Law offers the only advanced legal degree program in agricultural & food law in the United States, with a curriculum specializing in the law of food and agriculture.

Each year, the LL.M. Program in Agricultural & Food Law prepares a small number of carefully selected attorneys as specialists in the complex legal issues involving agriculture and our food system.

The Program attracts candidates from throughout the United States and the world. Our alumni currently work in 40 different states and 15 foreign countries, serving as leaders in private practice, government, agribusiness, public policy, and academia.

The laws that apply to the production, marketing, and sale of the food we eat, the natural fibers we wear, and increasingly, the bio-fuel that runs our cars have an extraordinary impact on us all. In the LL.M. Program in Agricultural & Food Law, we study the full spectrum of law and policy from “from farm to fork” – from the perspective of the farmer, the processor, the retailer, and the consumer.

Specialized LL.M. courses are taught by nationally recognized scholars and practitioners through a mix of law professors at the University of Arkansas School of Law, Visiting Professors that teach condensed courses, and special guests that deliver topical presentations. Graduates of the program are among the leaders of today’s agricultural law and food law communities, working in private practice, government, industry, public policy, and academia.
