well as computer, communications, and biomedical technology regulation and legislation. At Scalia Law, students

have the opportunity to specialize in the regulation and legislation surrounding developing technologies through

share their practical experiences with students in the classroom leading to an exceptional educational experience.

ADUGNA LELISA SIMEFrom EthiopiaClass of 2017

Going to George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School is one of the best decisions I have

ever made in my life. The LLM in Intellectual Property Law has provided me with the opportunity

to explore an array of different possibilities for my future. The professors really challenge your

thinking, give great feedback, and my fellow students have been an inspiration for me daily. The

admissions staff truly care about the students, and they do everything possible to help. Through

the IP LLM program, I was able to secure an internship at the prestigious Center for Protection of

Intellectual Property (CPIP) and the Law and Economics Center (LEC).
