In 1994, Columbia was the first U.S. Law School to establish a double degree program providing its participants with both a U.S. Juris Doctor and a foreign law degree, in this instance the French Maîtrise en Droit. Columbia was also the first school to create a three-year JD/LL.M. program. The Double Degree programs are the flagship of our study abroad programs - they build upon the Law School's tradition of innovation, and offer unparalleled, substantive and unique opportunities for the study of international and comparative law.
