Take Your Legal Studies Abroad

2013 Summer Study Abroad Program in Bologna, Italy

The Summer Program at the University of Bologna is jointly sponsored by Brooklyn Law School and Loyola Law School of Los Angeles. The Program offers students an opportunity to study a variety of international and comparative topics with distinguished faculty from both American and European law schools. A special attraction of the program is its affiliation with the University of Bologna's Faculty of Law.

The program is scheduled when the University is in session and as a result American students who participate in the program will have an opportunity to interact with Italian students. The two-week program will run from May 26 - June 8, 2013, while the three-week program will run from May 26 - June 15, 2013.
