advanced degree in dispute resolution
I recently received an e-mail about the LL.M Program in Dispute Resolution offered at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) School of Law. MU is widely recognized for its contributions to dispute resolution scholarship and practice. The 1-year residential program attracts a diverse student body and a faculty that includes some of the leading thinkers in the field. According to its online description, the program is designed “for those with an interest in serious study and practice beyond the J.D. degree” and aims to provide “practitioners and scholars with a deeper understanding of theoretical, policy, design and ethical issues in dispute resolution.” You’ll find a program overview here and a synopsis of admissions requirements here. You can read the latest newsletter from MU’s Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution here (pdf).
