Fordham的“国际争议解决”法学硕士课程重点解决国际争议的各种方式，包括通过传统诉讼以及争议解决的替代方法，例如仲裁和调解。尽管传统的争端解决方法仍然很重要，但是替代性争端解决机制正在迅速发展，作为解决公私法和国际法中当事方之间争端的首选方法。对律师而言，深刻理解每种方法所基于的原理以及所涉及的过程变得越来越重要。该计划为学生提供了机会，以深入探讨各种裁决方式，尤其是研究它们如何在国际舞台上发挥作用。外国学生将总体上对美国普通法制度有所了解，并将学习美国诉讼模式的某些特殊特征。
Fordham's LLM program in International Dispute Resolution focuses on the various ways that international disputes are resolved, including through traditional litigation as well as alternative methods of dispute resolution, such as arbitration and mediation. While traditional methods of dispute resolution remain important, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are growing rapidly as a preferred method of resolving disputes between parties in public and private international law matters. It is increasingly important for lawyers to have a strong understanding of both the principles underlying each of these methods and the processes involved. This program offers students the opportunity to explore in depth the various options for the adjudication of disputes, and especially to examine how they are played out in the international arena. Foreign students will develop an appreciation for the U.S. common law system generally, and will learn some of the particular characteristics of the U.S. litigation model.
