FOURTH ANNUAL SUMMER SESSION IN INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW IN GIESSEN, GERMANY

July 14 through August 11, 2012

A joint offering of Marquette University Law School, the University of Wisconsin Law School and the Justus Liebig University Law School — Giessen

Summer of 2012 will see the continuation of the joint Marquette, University of Wisconsin, University of Giessen Summer Session in International and Comparative Law on the campus of the University of Giessen in Giessen, Germany.  Through these three law schools and their friends world wide, the program will bring together up to sixty students from all over the world to study comparative and international law for a one-month session lasting from July 14 through August 11.  Faculty will be drawn from all three schools and students will select two two-credit hour classes from a curriculum of four classes.  The curriculum will be supplemented with two overnight field trips to Berlin and Munich to visit courts and other legal institutions in Germany.  Classes will be held only during the day and only four days each week, Monday through Thursday, in each of the four weeks of the program.  The schedule thus leaves students with time to explore the cities, villages and countryside around Giessen and nearby Frankfurt and enjoy long weekends in Germany and the countries surrounding Germany.  Paris to the west and Berlin to the east are a mere 300 miles from Giessen.
