Study Abroad
The Law School offers several exciting, ABA-approved study abroad programs. Two programs take place in the summer -- in Sorrento, Italy and Sydney, Australia, and one program takes place in the winter, in Curacao, the Netherlands Antilles. Each program includes courses that focus on international or comparative law, as well as interaction with local students, faculty and members of the local legal community in classes and on field excursions. Faculty in our study abroad programs have included Justices of the United States Supreme Court and other highly distinguished jurists and law professors. Students who attend Hofstra's study abroad programs thus have a unique opportunity to gain a rich understanding of foreign legal institutions, and to appreciate the cultural dimensions of lawyering in a global environment.
