Hey,
I am a mechanical engineer working in water transmission field. I just graduated from engineering school and I want to carry on my studying in law to become an arbitrator.
My question is: How to apply in a law school in the united states? and what branch of law should I study?

hello,

I really can't tell you how to apply to a law school, you should check the webpages of each of your options...

Regarding your second question, visit the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) or the UNCITRAL for general info on international arbitration. I personally recommend that if you take an LLM (masters), you take it in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR); or take your JD and the specialize in ADR.

Congratulations. You should visit websites devoted to JD admissions (top-law-schools.com is one).
A first degree in law is usually required to apply to LL.M programs.
