Continuing Education: International Estate Planning and Immigration Law

July 2008

Thomas Jefferson’s School Of Law Diamond LL.M. program and AAFM are partnering up to provide you with a new course starting July 2008. It is offered online with live streaming video. All courses are recorded for later playback.

The instructor, Alfred Ongcapin, is an Adjudications officer for the US Department of Homeland Security, and comes with increased tenure and experience.

This riveting course is an introductory look into the often complex realm of international tax, estate planning, and immigration law. Mr. Ongcapin will bridge the gap between foundational principles of U.S. international tax and estate planning including immigration visa categories, requirements, and triggers along with their consequences. An examination through AAFM is available after the course to become certified in International Estate Planning and Immigration Law.

July 2008; Course Cost: $200 for CE.; Can be credited to future Diamond LL.M. classes

Certification: $300 through AAFM

Earn a Degree or a Certificate Online
Initially created to culminate in an LL.M. in international tax, the Diamond Program has grown to meet the wide range of career objectives and needs represented by the individuals who seek the flexibility that only this online program can offer. Today, aside from working toward an LL.M., a student can earn either a J.S.M. (Master of Science of Laws) or a J.S.D. (Juris Scientiae Doctor). In addition, students who do not seek a traditional law degree can pursue a course of study that culminates in a certificate in one of six areas of specialization.

Global Jobs and Career Database up and running

LLM. JSD students and alumni (now 500+ and growing) have access to the jobs and career database, plus the weekly receipt of job opportunity emails from companies, firms, and executive search firms.

In the past 12 months, over 300 specific professional and academic opportunities were made available to our students and alumni via our database and email system. The search engines in the database allowed searching of thousands of published opportunities.

  • Jobs based all over the globe, examples include: Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Cayman, London, Zurich, New York, Boston, Panama City.
  • Jobs that pay a range of a low of $50,000 (e.g. inexperienced trust officer) to $250,000 packages (e.g. experienced counsel).
  • Jobs by example with banks, e-commerce firms, insurance industry, tax firms and multi-national companies.

In celebration of China's entry into the WTO as a full partner, the Diamond Program is highlighting our unique and exceptionally in-depth Chinese law course. This is a special class in association with English speaking law faculty members at the University of Peking and is not taught every year.

This course is highly successful for business people working with China, those interested in developing manufacturing in Asia, and general students of world trade. This course was designed and is instructed by a leading professor in a top-tier Chinese law school. Investment law, tax law and other topics are robustly covered.
