UC Davis International Law Programs/ Alumni Update

International Alumni Update: Luis Pereda, LL.M. '13, Dean, Anáhuac México Sur University

The International Law Programs at UC Davis School of Law are proud to launch this new series of brief alumni profiles highlighting the experiences of recent program graduates.

 
Luis Pereda
Dean of Law School, Anáhuac México Sur University
What is your favorite thing about your current work?
My favorite thing is that, every day, I have had the opportunity to rethink, teach, learn, and talk about law in an environment where young people are the most valuable asset. I am convinced that Mexico's great opportunity to fight against corruption and inequity are those men and women seeking -- through courage, ambition and social responsibility -- to become successful lawyers.
How does your UC Davis School of Law education make you a more effective professional?
One of the most important reflections I can share is the perspective I gained at UC Davis about the world and other cultures' law. Diversity is something that is frequently underestimated for those Mexicans who still don't have close contact with other cultures, traditions, and legal texts. This is where my UC Davis School of Law education makes a big difference. Thanks to my professors and classmates, I expanded my horizons to understand other countries' problems and their respective legal answers to those problems.  My UC Davis School of Law education was both high-quality and practical.
What piece of advice would you give to this year's international law students?
They should take advantage of the great resources the university offers, like the fact that professors don't only give their lectures, but also take care of the students and have a lot of contact with them.
What is your favorite UC Davis memory?
The brotherhood that we students created outside the classroom, together as one family.

The recommended deadline for application to the UC Davis LL.M. Program was January 10, but it is not too late to apply! Contact lawinfo@ucde.ucdavis.edu and visit  law.ucdavis.edu/llm for more information.

Academic Year LL.M. Program

UC Davis School of Law is a top-tier U.S. law school with internationally known faculty and scholars. UC Davis School of Law at King Hall is home to our innovative and engaged student body of 498 J.D. and 55 LL.M. students. Our students attend courses and study in our striking new state-of-the-art King Hall facility and enjoy outstanding library with access to the collections of all UC campuses and more.




The LL.M. Experience    At UC Davis School of Law, the faculty fully integrate students into their ambitious research and practice activities. Be part of an intellectually curious yet distinctively supportive community. Faculty, fellow students and staff, no matter how busy and engaged in professional achievement, are accessible, empathetic and committed to your education.

The LL.M. program follows an academic calendar with the program starting in late August and running through May of each year. LL.M. students select from all law school courses to design educational programs reflecting their educational interests. LL.M.s participate in their classes with U.S. J.D. students.

The LL.M. Director guides and counsels students throughout the year to make sure academic and professional goals are achieved.

Multiple lecture series bring dynamic, nationally and internationally known experts to complement the regular curriculum. King Hall hosts over 50 student organizations to enhance your education and networking.

Program Details    Each LL.M. candidate must successfully complete a minimum of 20 semester units of work.

LL.M. students may choose to personalize their course programs to specialize in a particular area of law, such as Business Law, Criminal Law and Procedure, Environmental and Natural Resources Law, Health Care Law and Bioethics, Human Rights and Social Justice Law, Intellectual Property Law, International Law, Public Interest Law and more.

Each LL.M. student must also complete an intellectually rigorous legal research and writing project.

We support our LL.M.s through the year with special academic and career skills workshops.





Orientation in U.S.A. Law Program for Pre-LL.M.s    We encourage you to participate in our Orientation in U.S.A. Law program. Designed for both working professionals and incoming LL.M. students, this program helps you to get settled into Davis and learn about American culture as you practice your legal English, learn an overview of U.S. Law, and participate in LL.M. preparation workshops—all before the academic year starts. More than half of our LL.M. students participate in this program each year, and they find it immensely valuable.




We accept applications throughout the year and encourage applicants to submit by January 10.    Contact: Cyntia Spencer, LL.M. Admissions Officer
