International Economic Law - Justice and Development

LLM International Economic Law - Justice and Development

Full-Time Programme

Should those who are relatively poor regard international economic law as a means, end, obstacle or irrelevance to improving their lives? From Shock Therapy 1992, to Seattle 1999, to Shock and Awe 2003, to Live8 2005, to Financial Crisis 2007, to G20 2009, to Haiti 2010, the impact of international economic law and institutions upon justice and development justifiably commands increasing attention from all quarters - local politicians and international celebrities, savvy pharmaceutical companies and bewildered farmers, moral philosophers and foreign investors.

In this unique programme, you will be trained in the critical examination of the law, institutions and practice which constitute global and local economies. Your guides will be established experts of theory and practice in the field.

This the only postgraduate programme in the UK to address the law, institutions and practice which constitute global and local economies from an avowedly critical perspective, part time and full time, in face-to-face evening sessions.

Entry Requirements:

Good second-class honours degree in law or a related discipline (see below). We welcome other relevant qualifications and appropriate professional training and experience.

If you are unsure about whether you have the necessary qualifications, please get in touch with the Programme Director, Amanda Perry-Kessaris, as soon as possible so that she can guide you.

If you have a first degree in a subject other than law, you might be asked to complete a Pre-Sessional Course in Law and Legal Method (SOAS) as a condition of entry. You might also choose to complete the Pre-Sessional Course in order to refresh pre-existing legal knowledge and skills.

• This intensive two-week course runs during the daytime in September. It aims to provide those with a non-law first degree an introduction to law, legal method and associated skills and techniques. It is designed primarily for those who do not already possess a law degree.
