NYC's Fordham Launching International Dispute Resolution LL.M.

New program to launch in Fall 2013; focus on traditional litigation and ADR

From Their website:

Fordham’s Master of Laws program in International Dispute Resolution will focus on the various ways that international disputes are resolved, including through traditional litigation as well as alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as arbitration and mediation.  While traditional methods of dispute resolution remain important, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are growing rapidly as a preferred method of resolving disputes between parties in public and private international law matters.  It is increasingly important for lawyers to have a strong understanding of both the principles underlying each of these methods, as well as the processes involved.  

Program

This program offers students the opportunity to explore in depth, from both a theoretical and a practical perspective, the various options for the adjudication of disputes, and especially to examine how they are played out in the international arena.  Foreign students will develop an appreciation for the U.S. common law system generally, and will learn some of the particular characteristics of the U.S. litigation model.
