It is with great pleasure that St. John’s University Law School
announces our second Summer
Program in Rome, to take place in June 2008. The 2007 Program
was a great success. Students and faculty had an extraordinary
experience and Rome, with its amazing variety of cultural, historic
and culinary treats, is the perfect stage for our educational
adventure.
In setting up this year’s program we want to achieve two goals:
offering students the most up-to-date vision of International Law
in a variety of fields and the opportunity to examine our legal
roots and traditions.
The Rome
Program offers law school credits for courses in International
Art and Cultural Heritage Law, International Environmental Law,
Comparative Asylum and International Human Rights Law, and
International Litigation. We have selected an exceptional group of
St John’s School of Law faculty
interested in educating students motivated to acquire an
international perspective enriching their curriculum.
Rome, where St. John’s University has a campus, has furnished an indispensable
heritage to all Western legal systems. With the advent of
globalization, it is vital for law students to understand the
origins, similarities and differences among legal systems, along
with the increasingly important body of international law.
We hope you can be both enlightened and enriched by this
experience and we really look forward to seeing you in Rome this
summer.
