Introduction to United States Law
LAWML930
2.00 crs.
This course is designed for students who are enrolled in the Loyola LL.M. degree program in United States Law and who have already been awarded a first degree in law from a law school outside of the United States or Canada. Emphasizing the skills typically acquired by JD students in their legal research and writing (lawyering) coursework, students will learn how to identify and articulate the applicable law before applying it to the facts. Students will actively engage in the arts of case analysis and statutory construction. The course endeavors to acculturate foreign-educated students to American law, practice, culture, and education by way of immersion.
