Six years ago, 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. Recently, Columbia has expanded its foreign double degree programs to include a four-year JD/LLB from Columbia and the University of London, and a three-year JD/LL.M., also with the University of London, and a three-year JD/DESS with the Institut d’études politiques (“Sciences-Po”) and the Université de Paris I – Panthéon Sorbonne.
