The "LL.M. in U.S. and Global Business Law" is a unique opportunity to acquire a master's degree in law without having to devote a year to obtaining it, taking extended time off work, or paying for the cost of living and tuition in the U.S.

This is the first degree program of its kind. The cooperation between Suffolk University Law School (SULS), Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., and Eotvos Lorand University (ELTE), Budapest, Hungary, along with the administrative support of the Center for International Legal Studies, Salzburg, Austria, (CILS) marks a ground breaking step towards the internationalization of legal education.

Recognizing that a legal education is a collective process, Suffolk already offers the LL.M. in Global Technology to better prepare lawyers for the practice of law in the 21st century with a focus on how technology and the law intersect in the international arena.

Suffolk University Law School recognizes the significance of internationalization of legal education by offering a broad range of courses in international law. As well as offering an International Law Concentration for U.S. J.D. students, students may also partake in International Internships around the world. The Summer Program in Lund, Sweden provides law students an opportunity to participate in comparative and international public and private law courses.
