Let´s Go WestLL.M. made in the USA

For more than 40 years, the German-American Lawyers Association (DAJV) has been successfully conducting seminars and fairs to prepare European lawyers for additional education in the United States. Over the years, our programs have produced thousands of graduates. To cater to a changing market environment and evolving needs, we have completely re-vamped the format for 2019. The seminar and fair are now condensed into a single day, and will take place in a single venue. While the seminar part will now focus on critical topics not readily found online, the fair will continue to provide opportunities for meaning-ful personal interactions. This differentiates our offering from the more fleeting atmos- phere of many academic fairs.

Please join us!

Brain Capital GmbH – the LL.M. Education FundThe LL.M. Education Fund offers DAJV members and participants of the DAJV LL.M. Seminar an alternative option to finance their LL.M. studies. The fund covers tuition fees and living expenses asso-ciated with the LL.M.. Students do not have to make any payments during their studies, nor do they have to repay a fixed debt obligation with interest upon graduation. Repayments are made dependent on your future income. The concept thereby ensures that no student is overburdened by debt (solidarity principle). Representatives of Brain Capital will be available for further information during the LL.M. Fair.
