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 departments) to earn a general LLM degree, with optional certificates available in specific specialties. While primarily intended for international law graduates pursuing full-time study for one year, the program also welcomes U.S. attorneys seeking specialized knowledge beyond their JD curriculum. American participants may choose part-time enrollment spread across two or more academic years. Note that LLM candidates should anticipate daytime class schedules, as evening elective options are limited each year. The following sections outline the distinct paths for these student groups.
Our Law School stands out as one of America's most culturally diverse institutions, offering exceptional training in negotiation and conflict resolution within an international, multi-ethnic environment. The curriculum includes conflict resolution studies across both public and private law sectors, complementing fundamental courses in negotiation, advanced negotiation techniques, and arbitration.
LLM candidates have the additional opportunity to enroll in courses at the University of Hawaii's renowned Matsunaga Institute for Peace & Conflict Resolution, which hosts various lectures and special programs throughout the academic year.
