The William S. Richardson School of Law's Master of Laws (LLM) program gained approval from the American Bar Association in 2003. Participants must complete 24 credit hours (with up to 6 credits allowed from non-Law School departments) to earn a general LLM degree, with optional certificates available in specific focus areas. While primarily intended for international law graduates pursuing full-time one-year study, the program also welcomes U.S. attorneys seeking specialized knowledge beyond their JD coursework. American participants may opt for part-time enrollment spread across two or more academic years. Note that most classes are scheduled during daytime hours, with limited evening elective options available each year.
Hawaii's geographic position makes it an ideal connection point for Pacific Rim economies, as evidenced by its hosting of the 2011 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit. The Law School excels in business transaction studies, with numerous core courses incorporating global viewpoints. Certificate seekers can specialize in international/comparative law concentrations.
The business law curriculum benefits from collaboration with the Shidler College of Business, renowned for its Asia-Pacific business expertise and global commerce training. Additional learning opportunities come through the Law School's Institute of Asian-Pacific Business Law and University of Hawaii Procurement Institute, which provide specialized programming to complement LLM students' academic choices.
