While issues in agriculture have always been important, recent concerns about food safety and food labeling have highlighted critical issues of agricultural and food law. Environmental and sustainability concerns, biotechnology, international trade, complex commercial law arrangements, and other compelling issues continue to raise complex legal issues. The LL.M. Program in Agricultural & Food Law at the University of Arkansas School of Law offers the nation's only advanced LL.M. degree in either agricultural law or food law. The program takes pride in offering a curriculum covering the full spectrum of law and policy from the perspective of the farmer, the processor, the retailer, and the consumer.The nine month course of study attracts attorneys from throughout the United States and from abroad. While many of the LL.M. candidates are recent law school graduates, others enter the program as experienced practitioners. The alumni are among the leaders in the agricultural law and food law communities. The program is currently accepting applications for the fall 2010 semester.
