Opportunities for international students to experience CNDR's award-winning dispute resolution programs
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.
