June 21 - July 1, 2010
American University Washington College of Law announces its first annual Summer Institute on Law & Government.
This two-week program is designed for both practitioners and law students. The Institute will feature a dual-pronged curriculum, the first part of which will focus on the unique challenges of practicing law in Washington, D.C., including lobbying, administrative and regulatory developments, Supreme Court advocacy, indispensable updates on election and campaign finance law, and critical issues facing lawyers and lawmakers in the nation's capital. The focus of the second prong will be Lawyering in the New Financial Landscape: Local, National and Global, a multi-faceted exploration of the ways in which the financial meltdown is reshaping regulation of financial institutions.
Scheduling will permit attendance for either or both weeks, depending on your preference, and classes will be offered throughout the day and evening to provide maximum flexibility.
Program fees of $1,503 per academic credit, $36 activity fee, and a $65 application fee will apply. Certificate of Attendance/ CLE pricing is also available.
