IIEL WTO Certificate [Updated 17 april 2008]
The Institute
of International Economic Law offers the opportunity for
students to obtain a certificate testifying to special competence
in WTO understanding in addition to their respective degrees.
However, the certificate is neither a diploma, nor does
it change the title of the degree students are pursuing
at Georgetown University Law Center. Students must
complete all of their degree requirements (J.D., LL.M.,
S.J.D.) to receive a WTO certificate. (A student does
not have to be an IIEL Fellow to receive this certificate.)
To receive this certificate, an enrolled student must give
notice to the IIEL of intent to fulfill the special focus
requirements for this certificate. This notification
is due by the end of the second week of classes in the first
semester of LL.M. studies or, for J.D. students, by the
end of the second week of classes in the first semester
of their second year of studies.
Requirements for Certificate in World Trade Organization
(WTO) Studies
The WTO Studies
Certificate is available to students earning an LL.M. or
J.D. at the Law Center. (Students earning an S.J.D.
at the Law Center, and students earning graduate degrees
in other related subjects at Georgetown University who are
eligible to enroll in courses at the Law Center, may obtain
the WTO Studies Certificate only by permission of the IIEL.)
Students will not be admitted solely for the WTO
Studies Certificate program. Successful completion of a
basic international law course, either at Georgetown Law
or elsewhere, is a prerequisite for the WTO Studies Certificate,
and this qualifying course does not count toward the 12
credits required for the WTO Studies Certificate.
The following are requirements for the WTO Studies Certificate:
• To receive the WTO Studies Certificate, students
must successfully complete 12 elective credits of course
work on WTO-related subjects, selected from specific courses
listed as eligible for the WTO Studies Certificate
and posted on this IIEL website. [Updated 17April 2008.]
• Students must maintain an overall grade point
average of “B” (3.0 GPA) or higher.
• Students must complete a seminar paper on a WTO
law subject approved by the IIEL.
• Students must participate in extracurricular activities
related to WTO subjects. (See Certificate brochure for 2007-2008).
Note: Academic credit transferred from other institutions
and/or graduate programs will not count toward the WTO Studies
Certificate.
Students should download
the brochure and send the Notification Form to the following address:
Institute of International Economic Law

Georgetown University Law Center
600 New Jersey Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20001
