International law would probably be best It's important to remember that laws vary from country to country, so some of what you've studied in the U.S. Simply won't apply other places. However, your training in learning to read the law and apply will be valid anywhere in the world. As to how likely it will be to land a job, that's really hard to say.

But since most countries do have direct dealings with the United States, your familiarity with the laws and practices here should be quite useful. Any firm that deals with international law would likely see you as an asset. But it will depend on the country, of course, as well as the particular needs of those firms.

I imagine it won't be that difficult to find a job, but a strong background in international law would almost certainly be required. Good luck! Sources: My Opinion .

Possible I knew a few friends who were looking into this. The most likely way to get a job is with an American law firm that has offices in other countries. Many very large firms have offices in Tokyo, Bejing, London, etc.But those jobs will be hard to get, because any job at those firms are hard to get.

You will need top grades from a name law school, most likely. Another possibility is as an in-house lawyer for a large foreign-based company, like Sony or Nokia. Your job would be to help them deal with the American legal environment (sometimes those large international law firms do this too.

) Much of your work might take place in the US, even if you travel to other countries often. Beyond that, too much depends on the individual country, their work visa requirements, etc.Be aware that an American law degree will not be considered much preparation for practicing law in other countries. As to what to study, it could be corporate law, environmental, antitrust, maritime, etc. (In the US there are no subjects called "public law" or "transactional law."

Hope this helps! .

1 As already has been answered, laws vary from country to country. This difference is even more dramatic if you take into account that there are civil law regimes (as in france or latinamerica) and common law regimes (as in england). Nonetheless, there are certain fields of law that have evolved in a clear connection to commercial practices worldwide, so a good option would be international trade law, with a especialization in carriage of goods by sea or by air, since the use of International Commercial Terms is so common ,for example.

The same case applies to any law related to finance, since the financial and banking markets are so interelated in every country. Besides law firms and international, you could take into account international organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, which is based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is constantly recruiting recent graduates. Best regards, .
