This week Northwestern Law welcomes 24 accomplished international attorneys from 10 different countries as part of the Graduate Program in Law and Business (LLM/Kellogg) Class of 2006. They bring professional and cultural perspectives from Brazil, India, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Thailand. Many have already arrived for orientation, which begins on Wednesday, June 15.

Students enrolled in the LLM/Kellogg program are experienced international corporate lawyers with an average of about four years of work experience. Some have been in-house lawyers, associates in large law firms; others have worked for banks, government agencies, and large corporations.

Designed for lawyers educated outside the United States, the 12-month LLM/Kellogg program offers students a unique opportunity to study both business law and management techniques at two of America's leading schools in the fields of law and business-- Northwestern Law and the Kellogg School of Management. Graduates of the program are awarded a master of laws (LLM) from the Law School and a certificate in business administration from Kellogg.

Students begin this summer taking Business Associations (taught by Albert Yoon) and a modified Communication and Legal Reasoning course (taught by Elizabeth Inglehart). They will also take Math Methods for Management Decisions and Accounting for Decision Making from Kellogg faculty.
