The LLM in Global Antitrust at the Antonin Scalia Law School provided me with the

opportunity to interact on a daily basis with some of the world’s most renowned antitrust

scholars and practitioners. Their passion and insights permeate the program and

motivate students to engage in top-level class discussions and to participate in extra-

curricular activities. The program’s value is also evident in its proximity to Washington,

D.C., the heart of the antitrust world. The program’s high-level studies and networking

opportunities together have opened doors for me that would otherwise remain closed.

For example, I received the opportunity to do an internship at the Department of

International Affairs of the Federal Trade Commission.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Scalia Law students have unparalleled access to the Global Antitrust Institute activities, which includes hosting academic conferences and roundtables, providing economic education programs to judges and regulators around the world, and fostering research in antitrust law and economics.

The GAI was created to promote the application of sound economic analysis to competition enforcement around the world through:

• Economics Institutes, which are economic education programs for judges and competition enforcers from around the world.

• Competition Advocacy Program, which provides recommendations to U.S. and foreign competition agencies on draft laws and guidelines.

Scalia Law School offers an outstanding legal

education that invokes curiosity and passion in its

students (Learn), trains students to critically evaluate

prevailing orthodoxy and pursue new ideas (Challenge),

and, ultimately, prepares graduates to distinguish

themselves in their chosen fields (Lead).

OUR SCHOOL CAN BE DEFINED BY THREE WORDS: LEARN.CHALLENGE.LEAD.

Scalia Law School offers LLM students the opportunity to develop

specialized expertise in one of three possible areas of law: Law &

Economics; Global Antitrust Law & Economics; or Intellectual Property

Law. Alternatively, for those LLM students who completed their legal

education abroad and desire a strong foundation in the U.S. Legal

system, Scalia Law offers a comprehensive U.S. Law program.
