[COLPI-SLClinics] LL.M. Degree in Public Service Law at New York University (USA)

Announcing new law degree: "LL.M. degree in Public Service Law" / NYU
School of Law

NYU School of Law has created the first-ever LL.M. degree in Public
Service Law as part of the Global Public Service Law Project. This is a
one-year masters program for lawyers who will have at least two years of
post-graduate public service work experience upon arrival. At least ten
scholars will be non-U.S. citizens or permanent residents and will receive
a full tuition waiver, travel, and stipend. United States citizens and
permanent residents are not eligible for a Global Public Service
Scholarship, but they may be considered for partial scholarships on a
case-by-case basis. Scholars choose an area of specialization from the
following: political and civil rights; social justice and economic rights;
criminal justice; international public service law and practice; or
institutional, practical, and managerial issues in public interest law
practice.

The Project aims not only to provide a first-rate theoretical education to
the 10-15 Global Public Service Scholars who visit NYU each year, but also
to practically assist them in their difficult and often groundbreaking
work making change in the legal structure and wider culture of their
societies. This practical approach is woven into the Project by
structuring the curricular and extra-curricular work to allow the
student-lawyers to learn from each other and to trade practical strategies
across borders, and by sponsoring the Global Public Service Fellowship
Program, which supports graduates to work for up to one year at a
law-related public interest organization of their choosing upon
graduation.
