Summer London Program Apply Now
Background
Notre Dame Law School began its Summer London Law Program for American law students in 1970, to provide an opportunity for a deeper understanding of our own legal system through comparing it with British legal institutions; for studying common law subjects at their place of origin; and for learning comparative and international law at a leading center of those disciplines.
The curriculum emphasizes courses in the comparative and international law fields taught largely by British faculty. Students have found that the opportunity to study law in such a program not only facilitates obtaining a law degree but enables them to learn about and enjoy the rich legal and cultural heritage of Britain.
It is the oldest American summer law program conducted in London. In the summer of 2007, 70 students were enrolled. Slightly more than a third of those students were from Notre Dame Law School; a number were from Australia; the remainder were from some 40 different law schools in the United States.
Qualification for Admission
Any student in good standing at a law school who will have completed one year of academic work prior to June 1, 2008, is eligible for the program. A completed registration form will be construed as a certification by you that you meet the requirements and that you will advise the program director of any change in your academic status. To be officially enrolled in the Notre Dame Summer London Law Program, each student is required to submit to the Admissions Office a letter of good standing from the student’s law school.
Applications must be received no later than April 1, 2008. Because enrollment in the program is limited, students should apply as soon as possible. Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
