grADuAte progrAMs In addition to the general LL.M., Georgetown Law offers a variety of degree options. Students may choose to pursue an LL.M. degree in Global Health Law, International Business and Economic Law, International Legal Studies, National Security Law, Securities and Financial Regulation, or Taxation. Students also have the opportunity to concentrate within one of the designated fields of study through a certificate program. Certificates are available in International Tax, Employee Benefits Law, Estate Planning, State and Local Taxation, International Arbitration and Dispute Resolution, International Human Rights Law, Refugees and Humanitarian Emergencies, and World Trade Organization Studies. Students whose TOEFL scores fall just below the minimum for admission can apply to Georgetown’s unique two-year LL.M. program, in which students spend the first year enhancing their command of English as it is used in legal practice. At the end of that year, students receive a certificate in Legal English. In the second year, they complete the regular LL.M. program. Georgetown offers a limited number of fellowships in certain areas of study, including International Economic Law, Global Health Law, and Taxation. Some fellowships include financial 26 GeorGetown Law support, and others offer primarily programmatic opportunities. The Leadership and Advocacy for Women in Africa (LAWA) Fellowship Program provides advanced training to women’s human rights lawyers who are committed to returning to their home countries to work to promote equality, justice and the rule of law. Since its launch in 1993, 70 women’s rights lawyers from 14 African countries have participated in the LAWA Program. In addition to earning an LL.M., the LAWA Fellows write a major thesis on a women’s rights topic relevant to their home country, have the opportunity to gain practical experience with an American women’s rights organization, and participate in bi-weekly seminars and professional training with their American counterparts in the Women’s Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program. The highest degree awarded by Georgetown Law is the Doctor of Juridical Sciences (S.J.D.). S.J.D. candidates spend two years in residence focused on a combination of coursework in their fields, a methods seminar geared to the research and writing of a dissertation, and directed research and writing. Admission to the S.J.D. program is highly selective; only applicants with an LL.M. from an American law school are eligible.
