Degrees Offered

• Logistics and Transportation Law
• LL.M. Masters of U.S. Law

Details of Courses Offered

The business of transportation and logistics is one of the fastest-growing industries worldwide. Hence, there is an increased demand for professionals who are educated in the laws and regulations governing this dynamic industry. Students completing Coastal Law's program in Logistics and Transportation will possess the regulatory knowledge, as well as the management skills, to work with government and environmental regulators, organized labor, and logisticians transporting goods.

FCSL also introduces a number of innovative online offerings, including certificates for lawyers and non-lawyers. These programs will teach students about the operations, regulation, and litigation pertaining to logistics and transportation.

The law school's logistics and transportation programs are designed for three different types of students:

• Those with a J.D. degree from either a U.S. law school or a law school outside of the U.S. who are interested in obtaining an LL.M. degree in Logistics and Transportation Law.
• Those with a J.D. degree from either a U.S. law school or a law school outside of the U.S. who are interested in obtaining a Certificate in Logistics and Transportation Law.
• Those who have a Bachelor's degree or significant work experience in the logistics and transportation field, who are interested in obtaining a Certificate in Logistics and Transportation Regulation.

Coastal Law's new online LL.M. Program meets many of the needs of students that are often neglected by residential LL.M. programs. Traditional programs can be expensive and take lawyers away from their families and jobs for a year. Existing programs are not specifically aimed at students who already hold a foreign law degree. These programs, usually place foreign lawyers in a curriculum geared toward U.S. students who are taking their first law degree in a three-year program. Comparatively, Coastal Law has created courses specifically for foreign lawyers, providing what they need: a comprehensive overview of U.S. Law within their own environmental setting.

Renowned U.S. Law professors from Coastal law and other accredited law schools provide a fundamental overview of U.S. Law, using cutting-edge technology that allows students to watch live and archived lectures, take quizzes, submit writing assignments, and interact with their teachers. Students can obtain a high quality U.S. legal education without the expense and disruption of leaving their job and family.
