Academic Requirements

Students will be expected to complete assigned readings, attend and participate regularly in all scheduled classes and events, and successfully pass a final written examination for each course. The final grade will be based on the examination and also on attendance and participation.

Eligibility

Students who have completed one year of full-time or part-time law study and who are in good standing at an ABA-approved or state accredited law school may enroll in this program. The program is also open to LL.M. candidates and practicing lawyers.

Students from law schools outside the USA are allowed to apply for participation. In 2010, 2 students from Colombia took part in the program.

When applying, non WCL students must provide a statement by their Dean or Registrar that they are in good standing and that they have permission to take these courses at WCL, so that the credits/grades earned in the program will be accepted by the student's home school.

Daily Schedule

There will generally be one class period or up to two visits and briefings per day. Evenings will normally be free for individual activities and for taking advantage of the many cultural and recreational opportunities available in the countries visited.

Classrooms and Administrative Office

Will normally be in the hotels where the group is housed or in a suitable facility.

Requirements for students��� performance:

Class attendance is required. Attendance is normally taken. There is a final exam in Paris for Law 910 and in Geneva for Law 911 or 912. The course grade is based on attendance (30%) and the exam (70%).

Laptops

Bringing a laptop is each student's decision. If you bring it, make sure that files have been backed up, that you bring a security cable and that you have insurance in case of loss or theft. In the hotels that the group will use there is normally wireless access to the internet, so having a laptop may facilitate email and course related research. In some hotels it will be possible to secure laptops in the room safe. In case laptops are permitted for use on exams, students are expected to provide a flash drive or CD to turn in their exam. Please bring a couple of CDs or 2 flash drives with you.
