Northwestern Law Welcomes LLM/Kellog Class of 2007

On June 12 Northwestern Law welcomes 34 accomplished attorneys from around the world as the Graduate Program in Law and Business (LLM/Kellogg) Class of 2007. Members of this class bring professional and cultural perspectives from more than 20 countries, including Brazil, China, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Turkey, and Uruguay.

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 an 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 Gary Rose) and Common Law Reasoning (taught by Elizabeth Inglehart). They will also take Math Methods for Management Decisions and Accounting for Decision Making from Kellogg faculty.
