Why the Maurer School of Law
Testo

This double degree programme gives students the opportunity to obtain the American title of LLM, which gives access to the bar exam to practice law in certain States. The participants pay a reduced fee at the partner university and attend courses for two semesters.

With the student ID card, students can use all city and IU campuses buses for free and have free access to all sports facilities.

All incoming Maurer students are assigned a Student Ambassador, a current law student ready to help them with all aspects of moving to Bloomington an adjusting to life in the USA and at IU. In the two-day orientation session the students register for classes and learn about American law school expectations and culture.

The LLM. degree certifies knowledge of US law and is highly valued in the legal profession job market by both Italian and foreign employers.
