Amsterdam Law School offers two Master tracks in International Criminal Law: a joint program with Columbia Law School and a full LLM in International and Transnational Criminal Law at our Amsterdam Law School. Both tracks focus on international and transnational criminal law as distinct fields of legal study. We aim to train a new generation of criminal lawyers who are capable of transcending disciplinary borders.

We offer a curriculum that enhances a broad and in-depth understanding of relevant issues of international and cross-border justice and the development of academic skills through in-depth analysis and experiential learning.

ICL JP starts with a first semester at the Amsterdam Law School that includes an introduction to common and civil law and procedural and substantive law of international courts and tribunals. You will have the opportunity to meet and hear from internationally renowned practitioners, including International Criminal Court judges and prosecutors. There will also be courses like Jurisdiction and Cooperation in Criminal Matters, Comparative Criminal Law and Procedure and Global Justice Sessions to provide a comprehensive foundation for future learning. Additionally, we offer a range of elective courses such as International Humanitarian Law, International Human Rights Law, International Refugee Law and International Law of Military Operations. Students will move to New York at the end of the first semester.

One of the core modules of the first semester is part of the Amsterdam Law Practice: a unique moot court based on experiential education. This contemporary way of learning, in which you learn by doing, helps you develop your professional identity by reflecting on who you are as a legal practitioner and provides you with the opportunity to hone your legal research skills in a team setting.
