The University of California-Irvine School of Law is accepting applications for a new master’s law degree for non-American lawyers.
The master of laws degree is a one-year, full-time, 24-credit course of study primarily for foreign lawyers, judges and government officials.
The school also has hired four new full-time faculty members, bringing the total number of full-time professors to 48, and opened a criminal justice clinic for students. Every law student is required to participate in a clinic to graduate.
The law school just welcomed its largest class since it opened in 2009. It received 31% more applications for the incoming class of 140 first-year students.
