ANNOUNCEMENT:

Fordham University School of Law and Sungkyunkwan University College of Law are pleased to co-sponsor the second annual Summer Law Institute, a three week academic program in international and comparative law in Seoul, Korea from June 12-29, 2007.  The first Institute, in 2006, was attended by 87 law students and practitioners, with students coming from 35 U.S. and Canadian law schools including UC-Berkeley, Duke, Emory, Fordham, Hastings, North Carolina, NYU, and UCLA.

Students may enroll in three credit hours by taking one of the following courses: International Human Rights Law, International Commercial Arbitration, International Business Transactions, and Corporate Governance in a Global Era. These courses will be taught in English by distinguished tenured or tenure-track faculty from Fordham, Columbia, and the University of Washington Law Schools.   The program will also offer optional Korean language lessons for those students interested in learning some basic Korean.  Students will be able to enroll in three credit hours during the program, and the courses are approved by the ABA for credit toward the J.D. degree.

Following the program, students who would like to stay on for internships at Korea’s largest multi-national companies, the Korean supreme and constitutional courts, human rights organizations, the Foreign Ministry, as well as some summer associate positions at leading Korean law firms, will have the opportunity to do so under the auspices of the Institute's non-credit internship program.

Program students will also tour the Korean National Court, the Supreme Court, the National Prosecutor's Office and the Foreign Ministry, and attend an extensive selection of extra-curricular tours and social events that enable students to experience Korean cultural life.
