Join us for a private event for students participating in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot hosted by Cardozo Law School and the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution.
Meet fellow law students from around the world, learn about Cardozo Law's Dispute Resolution and Advocacy LL.M., and discover our program's strengths from our talented delegates.
The Dispute Resolution and Advocacy LL.M. offers international lawyers a unique opportunity to learn from dispute resolution experts and thought leaders in the heart of New York City. Through theoretical study, intensive skills training, clinical work, externships and opportunities for scholarship, Cardozo LL.M. students form a strong foundation from which to build a career in dispute resolution in the United States and beyond.
You’ll have other opportunities to meet us during the Vis Moot as well. Please visit us at the Cardozo Law School networking table at:

Faculty of Law (Juridicum),
Schottenbastei 10-16,
