The University has a robust and ever-growing reputation and a significant commitment to the studies of international law. This body of knowledge exists in two main groups, which include private and public laws. Private law deals with the issues facing individuals and businesses and their dealings on international boundaries. Public law, on the other hand, deals with human rights issues across borders. It handles the relationships among foreign entities, nations, and how their effects on the coexistence of people in these countries. Many aspects of private law deal exist in a commercial nature. However, some of the components of international law cannot exist in either category. These include immigration laws and the relationship that exists between domestic legal systems and international norms. Most lawyers concentrate on public law as a specialty because it provides an opportunity to reflect upon many aspects within the domestic legal systems. The university curriculum covers these areas comprehensively to help students in developing a clear understanding.
At the end of the program, the learners should be in a position to apply theory into practice and implement the various components of international law in multiple fields of practice. The learners should apply critical thinking and reasoning skills to different decision-making processes. They should be in a position to interpret research and present findings in the process of providing legal advice to clients in real-life situations. They should be able to provide top-quality legal services by applying the theories they have learned throughout the course. The lawyer should apply excellent leadership and negotiation skills in litigations and consultative processes to protect the interests of the clients.
The course takes students more in-depth into the field of international law by focusing on the major tenets of the law necessary for the development of the learners and their growth in the legal area. It consists of forty-five graduate credits with three-dimensional concentrations in aviation, financial banking, and maritime law.

Course Description:
This covers the historical events between roughly 500 B.C. and 500 A.D., and the Romans developed the most elaborate and most comprehensive secular legal system that was known in the ancient world. This system was revived in the high middle ages and became an important (some would the most important) influence on the development of modern western legal systems. This course introduces that system: the political and social context in which it arose, the categories of private law which are applied in its “classical” period, its speculative origins in the distant past, and the mechanisms by which it developed. The course thus raises important substantive, comparative, and methodological issues, issues that are of concern to all lawyers, whether or not they happen to be interested in Rome.
