Certificate Programs

LL.M. students who wish to further specialize may pursue a Certificate along with their LL.M. degree. Georgetown Law offers certificates in Employee Benefits, Estate Planning, International Arbitration and Dispute Resolution, International Human Rights Law, International Taxation, Refugees & Humanitarian Emergencies, State and Local Taxation and WTO Studies. The Employee Benefits, Estate Planning and State and Local Taxation certificates can be completed as stand-alone certificate programs or in conjunction with one of the LL.M. degree programs. Students may apply to only one Certificate program.  On a case-by-case basis, students may be able to earn more than one of the tax-related certificates simultaneously.  Students should discuss this option with their academic advisor after admission.
