******************

Miami Law is prominently positioned, both academically and geographically, for the study of international arbitration. Miami Law’s White & Case International Arbitration LL.M. program, under the guidance of Carolyn Lamm, the LL.M. Program’s Distinguished Faculty Chair, provides a unique individualized curriculum for a small group of top-quality students from around the globe who wish to acquire in-depth knowledge and skills in the field of international commercial and investment arbitration as a platform for a successful future.

Students receive career advising tailored to their individual interests and professional goals. Students also may pursue networking and professional development opportunities, such as attending international job fairs, participating in internships with leading international arbitration firms and institutions, competing in international arbitration moot court competitions, attending international arbitration conferences, and getting involved in professional arbitral organizations.

After graduation, the LL.M. Program provides post-graduation options for students to sit for the bar exam in several U.S. states, including New York, and obtain a one-year post-graduation optional practical training (OPT) work permit. Miami Law also offers an Intensive Legal English + International Arbitration LL.M. study option and a J.D./LL.M. joint degree in international arbitration. Various scholarships are available, including two full-tuition awards: the White & Case Scholarship and the Young ICCA Scholarship.

Miami Law’s International Arbitration Institute, under the guidance of Jonathan C. Hamilton, the Institute’s Distinguished Faculty Chair, is an embodiment of the University of Miami’s long tradition of engagement with the law of arbitration and strives for progress through research in international arbitration.
