Summer Abroad Programs
WCL Summer Abroad programs provide an interdisciplinary “crash course” of international and transnational issues and are open to students from any law school in the US. Summer programs are also open to participants with legal training such as practitioners from the US and around the world, and law students from non-US law schools, especially students and alumni from our partner institutions.
