Law Schools Offer Accredited Master of Laws (LL.M.) Programs to Lawyers Online
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010With the advent of globalization, lawyers now need to know international and comparative laws. Generally, the legal profession has seen a rise in cross-border issues vis-à-vis international trade, intellectual property and technology, transnational workers and families, human rights, and socio-economic and environmental policies. While traditionally a Master of Laws (LL.M.) is a coveted degree for those in academia, in recent times, more and more practicing lawyers are enrolling in LL.M. programs to enhance their professional skills and gain specialized knowledge.
Many brick-and-mortar law schools (as opposed to wholly online universities) now offer lawyers the opportunity to earn an LL.M. degree online:
• University of Aberdeen located in Aberdeen, Scotland offers online LL.M. degree in International Business Law.
• Boston University School of Law located in Boston, United States offers online Executive LL.M. degree in International Business Law.
• Chapman University located in California, United States offers online LL.M. degree in Trial Advocacy/Prosecutorial Science.
• Dundee Law School located in Scotland, United Kingdom offers online LL.M. degree in International Dispute Resolution and Healthcare Law and Ethics.
• The University of Edinburgh School of Law located in Edinburgh, Scotland offers online LL.M. degree in Innovation, Technology and the Law, Intellectual Property Law, Medical Law and Ethics.
• New York University Law School located in New York, United States offers online Executive LL.M. degree in Taxation Law.
• Nottingham School of Law (University of Nottingham) located in Nottingham, United Kingdom offers online LL.M. in Public Procurement Law and Policy.
• Queen Mary, University of London located in London, United Kingdom offers online LL.M. degree in Computer and Communication Law.
A wide variety of online LL.M. programs are offered by two law schools located in England and Canada:
• University of London (External Systems) located in London, England offers online LL.M. degrees in General Master of Laws, as well as specializations in Banking and Finance Law, Financial Services, Commercial, Corporate and Securities Law, Economic Regulation, International Business Law, Common Law, Corporate and Foreign Law, Antitrust and Competition Law, Information Technology Law, Criminal Justice/Criminology, Sports Law, Tax Law, Public International Law, Health and Medical Law, International Justice, Legal Theory and Philosophy and Maritime Law.
• Osgood Hall Law School of York University located in Toronto, Canada offers online LL.M. degrees in Professional Development in Litigation/Arbitration/Mediation/Dispute Resolution, Banking, Finance and Securities, Constitutional Law, Criminal Justice/Criminal Law/Criminology, Family/Child Law, Health and Medical Laws, Intellectual Property Law, Employment and Labor Law, Municipal Law, Real Estate and Property Law, Securities Regulation, Tax Law and Trusts Law.
Online LL.M. programs offer greater flexibility to lawyers who are employed. Lawyers can learn at their own pace without having to take a break from work or physically relocate. Additionally, lawyers can choose from a greater number of LL.M. programs from anywhere in the world. Also, online LL.M. programs can be less expensive.
Prior to choosing an online LL.M. program, however, potential applicants should research and know the specifics. Among other things, consider the reputation of the program and the law school, teacher credentials and expertise, tuition fee and other costs, Internet connectivity, class size, school calendar, teaching methods and the availability supplemental help. Online learning maybe the best possible option for practicing lawyers to develop their skills professionally and keep pace with the emerging legal issues due to globalization.

Do You Agree or Disagree with the Proposed New College Recruitment Rules?
Wednesday, June 16th, 2010The U.S. Department of Education introduced a new set of proposed rules, which aim to stop colleges from paying recruiters or misleading prospective students about the costs and value of the institutions. In pertinent part, among other things, the proposed new rules mandate colleges to declare their graduate and job placement rates to potential applicants, to provide information to the federal government for analysis of student debt and income levels post-graduation, and to make sure students are progressing academically. The new rules would give the federal government more leg-room to take actions against colleges that engage in deceptive advertising practices to recruit students. Additionally, the new rules would set forth the courses which would be eligible for federal financial aid, as well as the specific amounts.
Are you in favor or against the proposed new college recruitment rules? What do you think?

Should College Students Be Able to Take Exams Outside the Classroom on Their Own Time?
Monday, June 14th, 2010According to a recent Reuters report, an US software company has developed technology which allows college students to take exams from anywhere, at anytime, without cheating on the tests. To prevent college students from cheating on exams, the software, among other things, asks for fingerprints, records test-takers via audio-video surveillance, disables connections to the Internet and all files not need for the exams. The software, which is already being used by some colleges in the United States, was developed with the goal of offering flexibility to those students with commitments beyond attending college and decreasing the stress associated with test-taking.
Should students be able to take exams from the comforts of their own dorm room, home, or elsewhere? Should this new software be integrated by all colleges and universities? Is there a potential for disconnect between students and faculty? What do you think?
