Summer Study Abroad 2024: London

 

The Law School offers unique, summer study abroad opportunities in London, Venice, and Vienna for course credit. In addition, we also offer a Micro-Trade Clinic in Nicaragua during the winter break each year.

The practice of law is increasingly international, and students who take the opportunity to study abroad demonstrate their appreciation of the broader dimensions of law. There is no better way to understand American law than to contrast it with the law from a different country and culture. Studying abroad can also help enhance resumes and distinguish students to potential employers.

Each summer abroad program runs for four weeks during the summer–London in May/June, and Vienna or Venice in July. The locations alternate each year between these options. Our overseas law programs introduce students to various topics of comparative and international law, depending on the expertise of the Wake Forest law professors who teach in the program. The London program features a focus on the history of the common law as well. European law students attend the programs in Venice and Vienna.

To be eligible to attend any one of the summer programs, a first-year Wake Forest law student must have a GPA of at least 2.33 as of the end of the first-year fall term. A second-year Wake Forest law student must be in good standing.

Non-WFU Law Students Eligible

Law students from other U.S. law schools who have completed the first year and are in good standing with their law school are also eligible to apply for any of the summer programs.
