LL.M. in Transnational Commercial Practice - Center for International Legal Studies

The Lazarski University LL.M. in Transnational Commercial Practice provides an emphasis on international business, trade, dispute resolution, and the crossborder practice of law. A concentration in American law is offered within the LL.M. program for non-U.S. lawyers. The LL.M. requires the satisfaction of 21 credits over three cycles in a two- to three-year period. Cycles I and II are taught in Salzburg, Austria, each March by faculty provided by the Center for International Legal Studies (CILS), Lazarski University, and Salzburg University. Selected participants may qualify to complete Cycle II in Budapest, Hungary, offered each June, with faculty provided by Boston University. Cycle III is taught in Warsaw, Poland, in April by faculty provided by Lazarski University. 

The next Cycles I and II will be conducted 16-29 March 2014 at the Leopoldskron Palace, the CILS venue for academic programs in Salzburg. The next Cycle III will be conducted 31 March - 12 April 2014 at Lazarski University in Warsaw. Cycle II credits also may be absolved by selected participants at the Boston University sessions each June at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. The next Boston University Cycle II session will be conducted 16-29 June 2014 in Budapest. Six credits are to be absolved at each Cycle for a total of 18 credits. The remaining three credits may be absolved during the two- or three-year period by undertaking a directed research project or by participating in any two of CILS' several continuing legal education programs offered annually in Europe, North America, and other venues throughout the world. 

The Center for International Legal Studies has more than 5,000 lawyer members throughout the world. The Law Faculty of Lazarski University has been ranked first among Polish law schools for the last five years. Boston University School of Law was established in 1872 and ranks in the top 20 of more than 200 law schools accredited by the American Bar Association. Eötvös Loránd University was founded in 1635 and is Hungary's leading law school.

The three Central European locations (Budapest, Salzburg, and Warsaw) and the two-week session format provide a great advantage to those who cannot take a year away from their work, who cannot afford a year in the United States, and/or who may have difficulty obtaining a visa to study in the United States. Tuition for 2014 is €2800.
