NORTH AMERICA: Many law schools in North America take foreign students for exchange or for L.L.M. degree study. Currently, there are only a few formal exchange programs, as they are generally handled by arrangement between two law schools and not open to the general law student. However, there is a list of the North American law schools below, many of them containing links to the law schools' homepages, to help facilitate making arrangements for individual study. There is also an alphabetical listing of US law schools as an alternate way to find a school. Note: Mexico is included in both this and the Latin American index. However, if you are looking for a specific program in Mexico, it is most likely on the Latin American Index. Law School Administrators:  Submit Update on Your Programs
