Description
Rethinking Overseas Legal Experiences from the Top Down and Bottom Up
With the current strains and pressures that law schools are facing today, the new reality is that beloved programs are being cut--from clinics to moot programs to overseas programs. What is the justification for keeping law school “study abroad” programs? If there are compelling reasons for international legal education, who needs to be convinced and what is the most effective way of doing that?
Discussants:
Amy Sugin, Assistant Dean of Graduate and International Programs, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
Colleen Graffy, Director of the London Program, Pepperdine University School of Law
Adam David Dubin, Director, Masters in International and European Business Law, Universidad Pontificia Comillas
