SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY NEWS — In January, the College of Law welcomed a new cohort of seven international students enrolled in the Master of Laws (LL.M.) program. “Despite the continued barriers and uncertainties caused by the coronavirus pandemic, this new spring cohort includes foreign lawyers representing the legal systems of six countries,” says Assistant Dean of International Programs Andrew S. Horsfall L’10. “These students come from very diverse backgrounds and expanses and have wide-ranging professional interests.” The LL.M. cohort will maintain its wide reach across time zones and locations with students from Ethiopia, Finland, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria and Pakistan. These new students will join the 34 returning LL.M. students who began their studies this past fall and spring along with four S.J.D. students, and five visiting scholars. In addition, the LL.M. students and visiting scholars will receive advising support from International Programs Academic Coordinator Kate Shannon and LL.M. student mentors Marisol Estrada Cruz, Mazaher Kaila, Anthony Levitskiy, Carlos Negron and Tia Thevenin.
