A wide range of course offerings and Virginia's faculty — prominent in areas such as immigration law, international human rights, environmental policy, comparative constitutional law and international business — make Virginia's international law program one of the strongest in the nation. Foreign professors are regularly invited to the Law School to teach seminars on topics such as European Union law and comparative law, and students may take select courses at the neighboring Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School (JAG School). Virginia's international law program attracts speakers from around the world, including leaders of international institutions and public interest organizations, officials from the U.S. State Department and other government agencies, international law scholars and practicing international lawyers.
