Law and the Global Community

The International Law program at Seton Hall Law prepares lawyers to become global leaders, problem solvers, and bridge builders for the resolution of issues stretching across borders. Students can choose to focus on public international law assisting with issues related to the political systems of nation states; private international law dealing with matters between private persons and/or non-governmental organizations; or international law and the U.S. courts. Along with a faculty of highly respected experts in international law and policy, Seton Hall Law offers a range of practical learning opportunities to build upon specific areas of interests including the global political economy, intellectual property law, and human rights. Students can take part in clinical programs through the Center for Social Justice, review emerging issues in one of our study-abroad programs, work with faculty on matters ranging from immigration law, to the treatment of detainees, to economic reform, to the extension of borders, and much more. Take a look around and discover how you can assume your role in today’s global world.
