2026-2027 International and Comparative Law Classes
Certificate of Specialization in International Law
All courses listed or cross-listed in the International and Comparative Law category can count toward the International Law Certificate; other courses may count at the discretion of the International Law Certificate program. The International Law Certificate requires a 20- to 30-page research paper and 13 total International or Comparative Law units, including the foundational 4-unit International Law course offered in Spring 2027.
Salzburg Cutler Fellowship
Berkeley Law sends up to four students each Spring to the Salzburg Lloyd N. Cutler Fellows Program in International Law, which brings together students from top U.S. law schools with leading academics, judges, and practitioners in the field to examine critical issues of the day. A key component of the program is the preparation of a paper by each student Fellow for feedback from the other participants and expert mentors.
Fall 2026 Schedule — Courses with a paper or writing component are marked with an asterisk (*). Information may change.
