The LL.M. in Comparative Law Program is designed exclusively for graduates of foreign law schools who want to enhance their understanding of the American legal system and the English common law system from which it evolved. Unlike other law schools, Florida's LL.M. program caters to the individual through a course of study tailored to the needs and objectives of each student, a limited annual enrollment of between 15 and 20 students, and individualized counseling by the director, faculty and staff. LL.M. students select from more than 100 courses and seminars offered each year.
The program builds on the University of Florida's renowned international studies programs and decades of involvement by its law faculty in international legal issues, including trade, environmental and land use law, human rights, law revision, and constitutional reform. The law school has established programs and relationships in Central and Latin America, Asia, and Europe, with specific emphasis on Poland, Brazil, France, Korea, Mexico, China, and South Africa.
