Students on placement will see the application of the law in action, and thereby supplement their academic legal education with practical exposure. Students can study abroad at partner institutions around the world, giving them the opportunity to experience legal education in an international setting and to gain a different perspective on the law. Throughout the program, there is an emphasis on acquiring the fundamental practical skills required of lawyers—legal research, writing, oral presentation, and advocacy.
