The Indian Legal Program was established in 1988 to provide legal education, scholarship, and public service to tribal governments. Because of the strength of the Indian Legal Program, the LL.M. in Tribal Policy, Law and Government was also established. The program requires 24 credit hours. Required courses will depend on the student's particular concentration of the degree. International students will be required to take LAW 596 Professional Legal Writing. A candidate may elect to write a master's portfolio paper, or can instead elect to complete an applied project. The remaining credit hours will generally be obtained from the list of elective courses. With faculty advisor approval, a candidate may satisfy up to six (6) credit hours with courses offered by other ASU departments or by law courses that are not included on the approved elected list.
