Washington University's Unique Transnational Law Program
Washington University's ongoing partnership with Utrecht University in the Netherlands has led to a unique transnational law program for students in the U.S. as well as those in Europe. The new program will allow students from the United States to study at both Washington University and Utrecht. The students will acquire their J.D. degrees in the U.S. and will pursue their LL.M. degrees in the Netherlands. A growing need for lawyers who understand both American and European law has led to this development. The program also includes Queen's University Belfast, the University of Trento in Italy, and the Catholic University of Portugal.
