|
Georgetown University Law Center offers a Certificate of Study (Certificate) in the expanding field of National Security Law. The National Security Law Certificate program is designed to encourage LL.M. students to attain a deep knowledge in the field of national security law which includes both national and international courses. Members of the full-time faculty with expertise in national security law and related areas teach a variety of courses in this area and provide advice on the development of the curriculum. In addition, adjunct faculty from U.S. government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as judge advocates general, bring extensive experience in the field to their teaching. The Certificate may be completed by students who have been admitted to the Individualized LL.M. program for U.S.-educated students and /or the General LL.M. or the International Legal Studies programs for foreign-educated students. Please note that J.D. students are not eligible for the Certificate program.The Law Center will not admit students solely for the Certificate program. The following are requirements for the National Security Law Certificate:
All elective
credits must be taken from among courses listed as eligible for the
National Security Law Certificate (see below). Credits transferred
from other institutions and/or graduate programs will not count towards
the National Security Law Certificate. Students may not register for more than one Certificate program. **Note: The following list of courses are eligible for the Certificate during the 2006-2007 Academic Year (subject to the addition of any newly-developed courses during the year). Graduate Courses and Seminars
JD Courses and Seminars **Note: A few seats are reserved for LL.M. students in a number of JD classes. However, the seat availability in most JD classes is extremely limited and LL.M. students only receive seats (if available) once JD students have registered. Please take this into account as you develop your course schedule. In addition, while Georgetown strives to fulfill each student’s academic goals to the greatest extent possible, it is our experience that there are certain very popular courses for which waiting lists are common. While you are welcome to register for these classes and may be successful in enrolling, the Office of Graduate Programs cannot guarantee you a space in any particular course or with any particular professor. Occasionally students find that they cannot have their first choice courses, usually due to restrictions in class size or the faculty member’s requirement of prior specialized course work in the subject. In those cases, suitable alternative courses are usually available.
