STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS FOCUSED ON INTERNATIONAL
LAW AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENT LIFE
GLOBALIZATION IS AFFECTING ALMOST EVERY AREA OF THE LAW.
AN INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE DEGREE FROM THE IU MAURER
SCHOOL OF LAW IS YOUR KEY TO SUCCESS IN THIS NEW AND
RAPIDLY CHANGING WORLD.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY:
International Reputation:
The Law School was ranked 25th overall in the March 2016 US News and World Report
rankings, and our international law program was ranked 18th. Our LLM program is more than
100 years old — one of the oldest in the US. Our tradition and experience combine with the
expertise and global prestige of our faculty members to bring you a first-rate educational
experience — for thousands of dollars less than at other universities.
Degree Options:
In addition to the traditional LLM, we offer an LLM with a thesis for students planning to pursue
doctoral studies. We also offer LLM specializations in business and commercial law; financial
regulation and capital markets; information privacy and cybersecurity law; intellectual property
law; and international and comparative law and globalization. In addition, we award a one-
semester certificate, a master of comparative law (MCL), a doctor of juridical science (SJD), and
a PhD in law and democracy, the only degree of its kind in the world.
Many international students are also interested in our JD degree. Qualified students can apply
to the JD program with advanced standing and earn their degree in as few as two years.
The Bloomington Community:
While earning your degree, you’ll enjoy the safe, quiet, yet cosmopolitan atmosphere of
Bloomington, Forbes’s #1 city for work-life balance, famous for its international community,
globally focused culture and cuisine, and a cost of living far below that of other US cities.
The Indiana University Network:
As an Indiana Law graduate, you’ll have access not only to the Law School’s alumni in more
than 55 countries, but also to the more than 600,000 IU alumni around the globe. The IU
community is truly global, and it’s yours to share as a Law School alumnus.
Support:
The Law School has a six-person staff dedicated to international graduate students and
programs. Students also enjoy excellent support from the university’s Office of International
Services. These offices are at your service for assistance with visas, housing, and other ways to
make your stay in Bloomington more comfortable.
a top-ranked globaldegree, in the heart of the united statesAt Indiana Law, you get the best of both worlds — an international educational experience, at a reasonable cost, in a
small yet cosmopolitan city free from the hassles, expenses, and dangers of a large urban area.
Making a Global Impact:
Three of the Law School’s five research centers are dedicated to global issues: the Center for Constitutional
Democracy; the Center for Law, Society, and Culture; and the Center on the Global Legal Profession. More than
20 of our faculty members focus their research and teaching on international and comparative law, which provides
opportunities for research assistant positions.
Bringing the World to Bloomington:
Each year, a wide range of lectures, distinguished speakers, symposia, workshops and conferences are dedicated
to international issues, including the China Law Forum (with China University of Political Science and Law), the
Bradley-Wolter Colloquium (with Warsaw University and Jagiellonian University), the Smith Endowed Lecture, and
the Snyder Endowed Lecture (with Cambridge University).
Visiting Foreign Scholars:
We welcome visitors from around the world every year. Long-standing visitors come from Trinity College, Dublin;
Warsaw University; University of Debrecen (Hungary); Ewha University and Yonsei University (Korea); National Chiao
Tung University and National Chengchi University (Taiwan); China University of Political Science and Law; East China
University of Political Science and Law; Jindal Global University (India); Australian National University; the Max Planck
Institute (Germany); the Université Panthéon-Assas (Paris II) and Worcester College, Oxford.
Opportunities to Engage:
You’ll have the opportunity to participate in a variety of international student organizations at the Law School,
including the Pro Bono Immigration Project, the International Law Society, and the Indiana Journal of Global Legal
Studies. Across campus, you can take advantage of IU’s 59 institutes, centers, and other units with an international
focus, and meet some of the more than 1,000 faculty on the Bloomington campus with international ties.
A Global Community:
About 75 foreign lawyers from 20 countries come to Bloomington each year to earn graduate degrees. You’ll attend
classes with them, and with the school’s 550 JD students. Sitting side-by-side with peers from throughout the US
and the world will broaden your perspectives on the practice of law and the globalization of your profession.
BLOOMINGTON: A COLLEGE TOWN. . . WITH URBAN SOPHISTICATION
You already know that law school can be difficult and often time-consuming. So why spend your graduate school
year in a crowded urban area, juggling metro passes, dodging traffic, and paying high rent? In Bloomington, you’ll
find a more relaxed pace — a college town focused on students, but with the amenities, sophistication, and fun of
a large city. Everything you need is within reach in Bloomington, so you can bike to campus and shopping or take
advantage of free bus service, and focus on what’s really important!

IU has the Jacobs School of Music — one of the nation’s top music schools — and outstanding programs in fine
arts, theatre, opera, and drama. The spectacular art deco Auditorium brings the best of Broadway to campus every
season. The world-famous Little 500 bike race takes place every spring. If you like outdoor activities, the natural
landscape of southern Indiana, the Hoosier National Forest, and the state’s largest inland lake are yours to enjoy.
And if you long for a big city adventure, Indianapolis, the state capital and home to more than 2 million, is just 45
minutes away, with convenient bus service.
