Description:
The Vanderbilt University Law School's one-year LL.M. (Master of Laws)
program is specially designed for outstanding graduates of foreign law
schools who plan careers in their home countries either (a) as lawyers,
judges, or scholars or (b) in government or international posts that demand
excellence in researching and writing in English.
The LL.M. program combines small LL.M. class size (between 5 to 10
students) with the opportunity to work "one-on-one" with a faculty advisor
to produce a substantial scholarly research and writing project. In
addition, LL.M. students may choose from any courses within the Law School's
broad curriculum in order to design an individual program of study tailored
to their needs.

Description:
The Center is an interdepartmental system that provides an environment for
research efforts in molecular toxicology by Center Investigators and
affiliated faculty in the departments of Biochemistry, Cell Biology,
Chemistry, Medicine, Pathology, and Pharmacology. This center has been
funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences since
1967. The overall goals of the Center continue to be (1) understanding
phenomena of toxicological interest in chemical terms, (2) answering
questions related to toxicity at the biochemical level, and (3) applying
such chemical and biochemical knowledge to problems involving human health.
Efforts toward accomplishing the goals will ultimately contribute to
understanding and developing preventative measures for human diseases.
