About MU Law
The MU School of Law offers a collegial environment, reinforced by a small student body and a low faculty-student ratio. The intimacy of this setting, coupled with reasonable cost, consistently high bar passage rates, a network of alumni around the globe and access to top scholars in the legal world, make MU Law one of the best values in the nation.

New York Summer Externship Fellowship
Each year, the LL.M. Program provides a substantial fellowship to cover expenses related to a summer externship with major organizations in the field such as the American Arbitration Association or the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution in New York City. This opportunity is available only to LL.M. students who do this for externship course credit. This program is available through the generosity of the Husch Blackwell Sanders LLP law firm in Kansas City, Missouri.
