opportunities AbroAD summer Program in lonDon Georgetown also offers exciting opportunities to study law in London during the summer. Georgetown’s London Summer Program lasts approximately four weeks and, through its academic track, offers transnationally-oriented law courses taught by distinguished instructors from the United States and abroad. Students earn up to 6 credits studying topics such as “Introduction to International Law,” “International Trade,” and “European Union Law .” All Summer Program students enjoy a speaker series and organized visits to legal landmarks such as the Royal Courts of Justice, the Central Criminal Court, the British Parliament, and the Inns of Court. Enrollment in the Summer Program is limited to ensure small class sizes. 14 GeorGetown Law inTernaTional inTernshiP Program Many J.D. students, especially during the summer following their first year of studies, get direct overseas work experience through Georgetown’s International Internship Program. The program typically places 60 to 90 students in internships with international organizations, non-governmental bodies, law firms, and businesses in over thirty-five countries. Many of the internships offer some type of remuneration, and the costs associated with unpaid internships are partially offset through the Law Center’s Equal Justice Foundation. cTls founDing ParTner school ciTies: JerusALeM cTls founDing ParTner school ciTies: toronto
global laW scholars The Global Law Scholars program is designed for students preparing for an international or transnational practice in which they will regularly encounter problems that involve more than one legal system. The aim is to combine language skills and cultural familiarity with rigorous and directed legal training to cultivate critical skills needed to practice in the global legal environment of the 21st century. The GLS program is small and selective, admitting only about 20 to 25 students each year. Applications are made at the same time as (but separately from) applications for admission to the J.D. program. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in a second language as well as English. GLS participants pursue a specialized curriculum of seven courses to satisfy program requirements. Two of these courses have been created for, and are restricted to, GLS students: a first-year seminar designed to introduce participants to different career pathways through faculty and visitor presentations, and a second-year seminar focused on specialized skills sets (such as international legal research, comparative legal analysis, and international negotiations). As part of the latter, GLS students work on a major research, writing, and advocacy project on an international legal topic of their own choosing. GLS students are also encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities Georgetown Law offers for broadening and deepening their knowledge and perspectives. These opportunities include summer internships abroad after their first year and externships during their second year, as well as enrollment in the London-based Center for Transnational Legal Studies or participation in the Semester Abroad program. The GLS Program is directed by Professor David P. Stewart. cTls founDing ParTner school ciTies: torino cTls founDing ParTner school ciTies: berLin TransnaTional programs 15
