International Master of Laws Program
Beginning the academic year of 2011, the Law School will offer an International Master of Laws Program ("LLM Program"). Discussions and plans for the LLM Program began in 2007 and was headed by Associate Dean Sedfrey Candelaria.
The LLM Program is a one year program with a summer term and two academic semesters. In the summer term, all students taken introductory classes including Introduction to the Philippine Hybrid Legal System (for foreign students), a Seminar on Contemporary Developments in International Law, Methods of Research and Statistics, Fundamentals of Thesis Writing, and a Seminar on Comparative Studies.
In each of the first and second semesters of the regular academic year, students enroll in at least 10 units of major elective courses under the LL.M. Program, following an area of specializations. There are five planned areas of specialization which are ASEAN Legal Practice, International Human Rights, International Corporate and Business Law, International Economic Law, and International Commercial Arbitration. The LLM Program culminates with the preparation and defense of a thesis.

“If the master is easy, the servant will be slack.”
—Chinese proverb.
“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary. If Maryland attempts to go off, suppress her in order to save the Potomac and the District of Columbia. Cut a piece off of western Virginia and keep Missouri and all the Territories.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Along the highway, all but lost among blatant neon lights flashing ‘Whiskey’ and ‘Dance and Dine,’ are crudely daubed warnings erected by itinerant evangelists, announcing that ‘Jesus is soon coming,’ or exhorting the traveler to ‘prepare to meet thy God.’”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
