There are many positive developments of late at King’s College London – The Dickson Poon School of Law.

Last year, the law school appointed prominent former Berkeley law professor David Caron as their new Dean. More recently, King’s College London announced the arrival of two new lateral faculty hires, Professor John Tasioulas (from University College London/UCL) and Professor Peer Zumbansen (from Osgoode Hall Law School at York University in Toronto). Professor Zumbansen will join the law school as the inaugural Professor of Transnational Law and founding director of the Dickson Poon Transnational Law Institute.

Particularly this latest senior faculty addition and creation of a new institute supported the launch of a new King’s College London LL.M. program, the  Transnational Law LLM.

According to the preliminary structure, the Transnational Law LLM program will include modules such as:

• Transnational Law: Actors, Norms, Processes – Foundations and Perspectives
• Sociology of Law, Legal Culture and Transnational Challenges,
• Law, Legal Systems and the United Nations: The 21st Century Landscape of International Law
