The Law School recognizes that the opportunity to engage in the study of international and foreign law overseas is an invaluable experience. Students with appropriately high academic qualifications, requisite foreign language facility, and cross-cultural adaptability can take advantage of a one-semester study abroad opportunity to develop an understanding of the legal practices and traditions of a particular country and, often, of cross-border legal practice. Students have the additional benefits of living and studying with students from another culture; of enhancing competence in a foreign language and cross-cultural knowledge and adaptability; and of gaining the necessary tools for foreign law research. Students who experience law study overseas begin to equip themselves with the skills necessary for the sophisticated practice of transnational law.
