UDM and EL TECNOLÓGICO DE MONTERREY IN MEXICO LAUNCH JD/LED

The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law (UDM) and the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM or Monterrey), Mexico’s leading private law school, have partnered to offer the NAFTA Lawyer Program, a multiple degree program that allows students bilingual in Spanish and English to earn law degrees in the United States and Mexico. Students completing this legal education program are awarded the U.S. Juris Doctor from UDM School of Law and the Mexican Bachelor of Arts in Law, the Licenciado en Derecho(L.E.D.), from Monterrey.

Students who want to practice in all three NAFTA countries also will be able to earn Mexican, U.S., and Canadian law degrees through UDM’s joint U.S./Canadian law degree program with the University of Windsor in Ontario, Canada.
As part of this program, UDM will offer 14 courses in Mexican law taught in Spanish by professors from ITESM. Any UDM student may take these courses as electives.
