Study Abroad

We host the Summer Institute for International Law and Policy at Utrecht University in The Netherlands, in partnership with Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. In this three or six-week, ABA-approved summer study abroad program, you can enroll in two courses (one session) or three to four courses (both sessions), for a maximum of eight credits. Taught by prominent international law experts from the United States and Europe, the program also features guest lectures by international officials and visits to the nearby international institutions of justice in The Hague and Brussels.

We encourage you to spend a semester studying at one of our partner schools in China, Canada or Europe – or virtually any university in the world. We recently launched a formal exchange program with three of China’s top law schools: Fudan University, Shanghai; East China University, Shanghai; and Southwest University, Chongquin. We also have formal student and faculty exchange programs with our Canadian sister school, the University of Western Ontario, as well as the University of Ottawa (common law and civil law) and the European Business School where, in addition to law, you can study international business and finance. The Case Global program helps you identify other foreign schools, develop a curriculum and writing project, and defray expenses for your study abroad.

Designed to enhance and expand our international law curriculum, the Case Abroad at Home program brings distinguished foreign scholars to the law school to teach intensive mini-courses during the week before fall semester. This innovative program allows us to offer you a wide variety of comparative and international law topics. To date, the program has hosted 17 international visiting professors from France, Canada, Australia, England, The Netherlands, Italy, Hungary, Argentina, Ireland and China, among others.
