• Starting in fall 2014, Pace Law School students will be able to spend a full year in Madrid, thanks to a new exchange program with Universidad Pontificia Comillas in Spain. Students pursuing careers in international law can spend their entire 2L or 3L year abroad earning both an LL.M. in international and European business law from Comillas and a J.D. from Pace. Classes will be taught in English. The same number of Spanish students will attend Pace for the year, earning an LL.M. in comparative legal studies or environmental law. While abroad, the Pace Law students will be able to intern with the international law offices of firms and corporations including Clifford Chance; Latham & Watkins; Hogan Lovells; Baker & McKenzie; Hewlett Packard; and IBM.
