LLM Master of Laws
Public International Law

LSE has a long tradition of teaching international law. Previous teachers in the Department include Christopher Greenwood a judge, at present on the International Court of Justice, Judge Rosalyn Higgins, former Judge on the International Court of Justice, and Professor Ian Brownlie, member of the International Law Commission. The distinguished team of current international law teachers continues this tradition of commitment to the study of international law and its development in response to changing geo-political conditions. All of the international law teachers have governmental, practical or activist experience to complement their academic expertise, for example through practice in international and regional institutions, participation in international litigation and consultancies with a range of international organisations. The contacts and interests of the international lawyers, as well as the London location, mean that courses include lectures and discussions with a range of visiting specialists. There is a constant stream of distinguished visitors to LSE who give public lectures and involve themselves in discussion groups and seminars in international law and its related disciplines. The Centre for the Study of Human Rights, the European Institute, and the Departments of International Relations and International Development provide further opportunities for consideration of the relevant issues from more diverse perspectives.
