LL.M. Program in Agricultural and Food Law





The LL.M. Program in Agricultural and Food Law at the University of Arkansas School of Law was the first of its kind when it was founded 30 years ago. Today, it continues to lead the nation in this important area of law, connecting lawyers to our food system, from farm to plate.
We offer an expansive and fully-integrated curriculum instructed by nationally-recognized scholars and practitioners for full- and part-time students. Our LL.M. candidates are also supported by a network of over 300 alumni who provide mentoring.
Along with providing an exceptional curriculum, the University of Arkansas School of Law publishes the Journal of Food Law & Policy, is home to the nationally acclaimed Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative, and provides outreach opportunities such as the Food Recovery Project for its students.
