International & Comparative Law Pathway Home » Academics » Pathways to the Profession » International & Comparative Law Pathway In International Law classes and seminars, students learn about the fundamental legal principles governing international relations. They consider the subjects of international law, the creation of legal norms, the role of international institutions, and the consequences of breach. Students explore topics including the use of force, international crime, international trade, human rights, the law of the sea and international environmental law. In comparative law classes, students study the similarities and differences among legal systems and their interactions. Broader philosophical and policy questions underlie these topics, including the nature of law, the purpose of law and its possibilities and limitations. Comparative Law classes and seminars address the nature and function of different legal systems or traditions. Lawyers working across borders need an appreciation of these differences to function effectively for their clients. Comparative study also provides windows on our own legal system and on possible ways to improve law throughout the world.
