The Law Summer School Legacy

"The study abroad program in London at Greenwich Law School and it was the most memorable experience of my law school career. Having the opportunity to learn about business and immigration law while living in London was an awesome learning opportunity for me. I loved being able to interact with law school peers from around the world while learning from a world-class faculty of law school professors with diverse experiences in both teaching and work experience. Furthermore, the program was the most fun that I have had throughout my law school years as a student at Mitchell Hamline School of Law. If you are considering registering for Mitchell Hamline's International Comparative Law Study Abroad Program or studying at Greenwich Law School, I highly recommend you make the decision to participate and you'll likely find it truly unforgettable."

"My summer school experience was a wholesome experience that held me to complete my readings on various topics and group activities which were both fun filled and knowledgeable. Subject Matter was apprehended both in business - legal perspective. This experience made me interact with people from different backgrounds from various corners of the world. To top it off, we even visited a Corporate legal firm called Thomson Reuters, and the experience was knowledge filled."

"The London summer school was a highlight of my law school career! It was a wonderful experience in a world-class city that all students should consider whether contemplating international law or not. The classes are only two weeks long and can fit in any schedule. My husband took one class while I took two classes. The professors are from all over the world, and each provided a unique perspective on the topics. This experience will stick with me throughout my legal career as well as an enriching personal experience."

"The summer program in London is one of the best decisions I have made during my time at Mitchell Hamline. Not only do you get great experience in classes during the summer session, but you get to meet students from all over the world. While in London, I took Comparative International Business Transactions and Comparative Immigration and Asylum Law. Both classes use problem simulations throughout the classes. For example, in International Business Transactions, we worked in teams to negotiate and structure a variety of contracts for a start-up business. For a student who is interested in business law, this experience was a fantastic way to dive into drafting for a start-up business and practice negotiating skills. Not only was the class experience great, but I also made new friends from both United States law schools and International law schools. Overall, I had a great experience in the summer program and highly recommend it! Additionally, I would be happy to be an ambassador for the program and would love to talk with students considering the program. Please let me know if I can do anything to help!"

"I truly enjoyed the London hyflex experience—the professors engaged with the material in a way that was educational but also really enjoyable.  It was a refreshing change from ordinary law classes that reconnected me to the love of law."
