LL.M. Dispute Resolution - Univ of Missouri (posted 2/2/09)
LL.M. Program in Dispute Resolution at the University of Missouri (MU) School of Law. We are recruiting for next year’s class of LL.M. students and we want to attract the best and most diverse class we can. I am the coordinator of the LL.M. Program writing to see how we might communicate this to members of your association looking for continuing education options beyond CLE trainings. Following is information about our exciting and innovative program designed for practitioners and scholars.
The MU Law School has received international recognition as a leader in dispute resolution. Our faculty features one of the largest groups of dispute resolution experts of any law school. Now in its tenth year, the LL.M. program attracts students from diverse backgrounds. Over the years, students have come from 25 countries outside the U.S. For biographies of our current students, see http://law.missouri.edu/csdr/llm/current-students.html. We are strongly committed to diversity and encourage applications from minorities, women, and others contributing to the diversity of our program.
LL.M. graduates work across the U.S. and abroad in a variety of positions. For example, Art Hinshaw is a clinical professor of law and the director of the Lodestar Dispute Resolution Program at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law. Mohan Srimat Tirumala Peddinti (Ped) is a derivatives negotiator in the Securities Legal Division of Goldman Sachs in Bangalore, India. Nivedita Gutta is the volunteer coordinator at the Safe Horizon Mediation Center in New York City, which offers assistance to crime and abuse victims, their families and the community.
Students may enroll full-time or part-time. We normally schedule required courses one day a week so that part-time students can work the other four days. This has enabled students to attend from such states as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Although the program will still be geared primarily to lawyers, people who have substantial ADR experience but who do not have law degrees are invited to apply.
Let me also introduce our three newest faculty members, Rafael Gely, Stacie Strong, and Jennifer Reynolds, who bring new strength and diversity to the Center. For more information, see http://www.law.missouri.edu/csdr/pdf/newfaculty.pdf.
LL.M. students can get dual degrees (M.A. and Ph.D.) from Missouri’s School of Journalism. Many LL.M. students take courses at the Harry S Truman School of Public Affairs, where they can earn a Certificate in Public Affairs in conjunction with the LL.M. degree.
Full information about the LL.M. Program, including details on financial aid, is on the web at http://law.missouri.edu/csdr/llm.
If you or others have questions, feel free to contact John Lande, the program director, at (573) 882-3914, landej@missouri.edu, or Karen Neylon, the program coordinator, at (573) 882-2020, mulawcdr@missouri.edu.
