Overview

Students enrolled in the National Security Law LL.M. prgram at Georgetown University may apply to join the student staff of the Journal of National Security Law & Policy.

Georgetown Law is the place to study national security law. We offer the leading academic program in the field, anchored by a faculty of unparalleled depth and breadth. Our full-time professors are leaders in their fields; they excel in scholarship, in innovative experiential learning initiatives they provide students, in practice and policymaking. Our visiting and adjunct faculty members are leading practitioners drawn from the highest levels of government, the private sector and the non-profit and advocacy worlds.

Career Preparation

Students studying national security law at Georgetown have a host of resources and opportunities to help them prepare and plan for a career in national security law.

Each fall, the Center partners with the Office of Public Interest and Community Service and together they hold the Federal Government Security Clearance Workshop. Many government agencies require security clearances, and the workshop is designed to educate students about the application process and the legal framework underlying security clearances.
