ALMA, the Italian LLM student
 association, was founded by some
 Italian lawyers mainly operating in
 the business and corporate field.
 They decided to contribute the
 expertise and knowledge about the
 Master of Laws, gained during their
 practise in the U.S., to benefit
 those who want to pursue or are
 already attending an LL.M. program
 at major U.S. Law schools.

MISSION

ALMA: Italian LL.M. Association, is a non-profit organization directed at creating a network of Italian students and alumni of LL.M. degree programs from the top US law schools. The primary goals include the facilitation of knowledge sharing, a network of professional contacts and the promotion of its members in the international legal community. Therefore, ALMA seeks to assemble professionals in the legal community with business knowledge and a strong international dimension. The association intends to be a leading source of information within Italy for those professionals interested in pursuing legal studies overseas.

THE STRUCTURE

ALMA was founded by a diverse group of Italian lawyers and business professionals concentrated in the field of business law, who decided to develop a stronger network during their LL.M. studies and work experiences in the United States. 

The “pool” of active participants in the organization stem from a union of the founders of the organization and a constituency of those with a mutual interest in the organization.
