Global Law Seminar

Global Law Seminar: Spend a semester living and working in leading centers of global commerce, finance, and law. The Global Law Seminar places students in externships with law firms, corporate legal departments, government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations where international legal issues are part of everyday practice. By studying and working alongside experienced attorneys, you'll gain firsthand insight into how law facilitates cross-border transactions, supports global markets, and shapes international governance.
A Global Perspective on Law: The Global Law Seminar is more than a study abroad experience. It is an opportunity to learn law where global economic activity and international legal institutions converge. Students return with practical legal experience, stronger professional judgment, greater cross-cultural competence, and a deeper understanding of how American law fits within an increasingly interconnected world.
