opportunities AbroAD Georgetown presents students with a broad array of opportunities to study or work abroad. For example, a student can spend a semester immersed in a truly transnational learning environment, surrounded by classmates and faculty from five continents, at the ground-breaking Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London. Beforehand or afterwards, that same student can enroll in Georgetown’s monthlong Summer Program in London or benefit from one of dozens of international internships. Many possibilities also exist for studying abroad for a semester at a world-class foreign law school or even to earn a year-long concurrent degree in Paris. cenTer for TransnaTional legal sTuDies In 2008, Georgetown Law spearheaded the launch of the London-based Center for Transnational Legal Studies (CTLS), a global partnership that currently encompasses more than 20 leading law schools. The initiative is premised on a belief that, as legal practice becomes increasingly “transnational”, the best legal education must include exposure to ideas, faculty, and fellow students from many different legal systems. In 2011, CTLS was recognized by the Institute of International Education with the Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education. It is the first law program to receive this honor. Leaders of the legal profession in this 21st century need to understand law within the context of different legal systems and different cultures. These lawyers will increasingly be called upon to advise businesses, individuals, non-governmental entities, and governments in matters that involve parties, laws, and judicial or arbitral bodies in two or more jurisdictions. To prepare for careers that transcend the borders of their home countries, they need to develop transnational perspectives. CTLS offers such perspectives in a manner unlike any conventional “study abroad” or international exchange program. The Center’s academic purpose is to examine transnational legal issues from within a transnational educational context. Thus, while the school is located in London and instruction takes place in English, there is no “host school,” “local faculty,” or “domestic legal context.” TransnaTional programs 9
