LL.M. Dispute Resolution & Legal Process Specialization

The Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR) works with Global Programs to provide the Dispute Resolution and Legal Process LL.M. Specialization for foreign students. The specialization allows LL.M. students to build and hone their dispute-resolution and other lawyering skills. The depth and breadth of the curriculum and experiential learning opportunities have made UC Law SF a leader in training lawyers for practice. LL.M. students specializing in this area benefit from working closely with CNDR, which hosts and trains international visitors several times per year.

Required Courses

LL.M students are required take either:

• Negotiation & Settlement (3 units) OR
• Negotiation & Mediation: Process & Practice (4 units)

Both of these courses provide theoretical background to Alternative Dispute Resolution, with multiple opportunities for interactive learning through role plays, discussions, video presentations and writing assignments. It is recommended that LL.M. students enroll in one of these courses their first semester at UC Law SF, as they are the prerequisite for many of our elective and advanced courses.

LL.M students must take a total of 12 credits for the completion of the specialization.
