Queen's for a year
Today I was accepted into Queen's University to pursue a Master of Laws degree. A little daunting, perhaps, but I am also excited about returning to school.
The degree allows professionals, who don't have to be lawyers, to focus on a specialized area of law. I plan to focus on Business and Human Rights. It's a one-year program requiring me to write a dissertation. If I succeed, I will be able to add LL.M. after my name.
Stolen from the web:
"LL.M. is an abbreviation of the Latin Legum Magister, which means Master of Laws. In Latin, the plural form of a word is abbreviated by repeating the letter. Hence, 'LL.' is short for 'laws.' Legum is the possessive plural form of the Latin word lex, which means 'specific laws', as opposed to the more general concept embodied in the word jus, from which the word juris and the modern English word 'justice' are derived."
