LL.M. in Prosecutorial Science Overview of Program Beginning in the summer of 2007, the School of Law, in collaboration with the California District Attorneys Association (CDAA), began instruction on its new LL.M. in Prosecutorial Science Program. Very few law schools offer an LL.M. in criminal law, and none specialize in an LL.M. program specifically for criminal prosecutors. This advanced degree is available only to active prosecutors with five or more years of experience in the prosecution of crime. Applicants who are accepted into the program, will receive graduate instruction from an experienced team of veteran academicians and prosecutors. The program offers courses with application in all states, as well as advanced electives on state-specific laws and procedures. The mission of the new LL.M. program is to create a high-caliber educational opportunity for prosecutorial leaders in California and the nation. The program is offered to prosecutors from District Attorney Offices, City Attorney Offices, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Inspector General, the U.S. Department of Justice as well as a variety of national offices. The program consists primarily of evening, weekend and summer classes supplemented by live distance-learning classes. Two-Way Distance Learning Component Other than the two required 10-day summertime sessions, students may complete the balance of the required courses from their home or office via live two-way webcam instruction. The Distance Learning Component will allow students to gain access to this unique LL.M. opportunity, while remaining close to family and work. Participants will interact in live two-way classroom discussions by the same instructors as those teaching the on campus program. These courses will also be archived for those who are unable to attend certain sessions. With a curriculum that will benefit all prosecutors, regardless of jurisdiction, the Distance Learning Component creates a convenient option for out-of-state counsel. For interactive video conferencing, you need: • A PC with Intel Pentium IV 1.8 GHz or higher
Program Director The Director of the LL.M. in Prosecutorial Science is Parham H. Willams, Jr., Dean Emeritus of Chapman University School of Law. |
