With the permission of the global governance program director, students can include up to two courses offered by the Law School in their program of studies. Enrolling in a LAW course also requires the permission of the Law School dean of students and the instructor teaching the course. Students should consult the Elliott School's Graduate Student Services Office before enrolling in LAW courses to review the registration process.

3IAFF 6118 Special Topics in International Affairs (Leadership in International Affairs) addresses general leadership themes and does not directly address topics related to this concentration, but the course allows students flexibility to tailor their course assignments toward their academic and professional interests. For IAFF 6118 (Leadership in International Affairs) to count toward the international law and organizations concentration, students must choose assignment topics that are directly related to international law, international organizations, or global health.
