Students are required to take Introduction to the U. Note: If a course fulfills both a Specialization Distribution Course requirement and a Content Outline requirement, the course may count toward both requirements. For example, Family Law counts towards the Specialization Distribution Course requirement and also counts toward the Content Outline requirement. Late registrants who are unable to register due to enrollment limits must take this course in their second semester of study.
However they are not encouraged to do so as these courses provide a fundamental base of knowledge and skills that are extremely useful for attorneys in the U.
These requirements do not apply to students who began their studies prior to Fall , and can be waived for the following students who begin their studies in fall or later: 1 Students who are already admitted to the New York bar or who do not plan to sit for the New York bar examination ; 2 Those who are authorized to practice law in another U. Legal Profession and Process, students may substitute a three-credit Professional Responsibility course, including those courses that are focused on a particular area of practice.
Any remaining credits may be chosen from among the wide variety of courses that are open to LLM students, as indicated on the class schedule on the registrar's website. A staff of specialists was consolidated into a single unit to provide a more coordinated approach to technical assistance on justice issues to developing countries.
The ILPS, which is part of the Policy Sector, is led by the Director General DG with the responsibilities of overseeing the provision of legal technical assistance initiatives to foreign countries seeking to reform their justice system, and strategic advice and outreach functions. This organizational structure of staffing provides flexibility by maintaining a core complement of staff to respond to ongoing strategic advisory and outreach functions, and temporary personnel to respond to more time limited and specific needs of GAC funded projects.
The ILPS supports the Department and the federal government in their role on international justice sector development matters through two key functions: project design and implementation; and strategic advice and outreach.
The ILPS is responsible for the design and implementation of technical assistance initiatives to foreign countries seeking to reform their justice system. These activities involve the transfer of technical expertise rooted in the Canadian justice system. This program-based work applies a whole-of-government approach to foreign policy, and requires key competencies associated with international justice sector development, such as knowledge of legal technical assistance theory, solution-oriented system design, and the ability to work in a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural environment.
The Section uses GAC bilateral program funding to work with justice system partners, normally on a government-to-government basis. To achieve longer-term and sustainable results, ILPS program-based assistance work has concentrated on initiatives that focus on institutional development and capacity building. The technical assistance team within ILPS includes lawyers, notaries, and other professionals. The Section draws upon the expertise of individuals and institutions from outside the Section - both within the Department and external e.
The technical assistance is primarily substantive in nature, and involves the transfer of knowledge and experience on justice sector issues. It can include sharing or advising on Canadian and international standards, laws and policies in respect of criminal or civil matters.
Depending on the recipient country requirements, the legal technical assistance may also need to deal with operational matters, such as strengthening the human resources capacity or organizational design of the foreign justice institution. The scope of ILPS' activities has expanded. Due to its expertise and involvement in international development, the Section has increasingly become engaged in policy development and strategic advisory work to support GAC on matters of justice sector reform.
Research and development activities include conducting research on the legal, social, economic and political situation of a foreign country; research on justice organizational-related matters; legal policy development in the area of justice sector development; and the development of options to guide decision making by developing countries.
The law itself is moving with new treaties such as the Trade Facilitation Agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership as well as many others poised to change the legal architecture. At NYU School of Law, scholars try to draw on a wide set of legal instruments and multi-disciplinary insights to develop new accounts and insights into this new phase of international economic law. At the same time, the sources of financing available to inhabitants of developing countries, the terms upon which financing is provided, and the kinds of projects being financed have become increasingly varied.
Financing development as a field of practice now encompasses transactions as diverse as sovereign bond offerings, foreign aid, project finance, development banking, micro-finance, and carbon finance, as well as certain kinds of insurance products and derivative instruments. This expansion in the range of transactions encompassed by financing development as well as the range of participants in those transactions, merits closer attention and analysis.
Similarly, the background legal norms that influence both the contents of individual financial agreements and the governance of the institutions that sign onto them represent critically important yet poorly understood features of the global legal order. The research program on financing development maps out that legal order and examines the processes influencing its emergence, its social and economic implications, and the scope for innovation.
