Banking & Financial Law | School of Law

The Graduate Program in Banking and Financial Law is the oldest LLM program of its kind in the United States, and has its roots in the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law founded in 1978. Since graduating its first class in 1985, the banking program has trained more than 2,000 lawyers for leadership positions in both domestic and foreign banking and financial services industries. Our graduates hold influential positions in government, law firms, corporations, financial institutions, and multilateral and non-governmental organizations throughout the world.

The program has never been more relevant than today. With the recent upheavals in financial markets, the legal and regulatory structure of the financial system has been amended and enhanced. The future will offer opportunities in abundance for financial services lawyers who are familiar with the fundamentals of the industry and the regulatory and supervisory environment in which it operates.
