Glasgow Academic Exchange

The Law School’s global curriculum is designed to provide St. John’s Law students with a broad exposure to the practice of law in a transnational setting, and the opportunity to explore diverse legal systems across the globe.

The Glasgow Academic Exchange provides qualified St. John’s J.D. students with the opportunity to study international and comparative law in another jurisdiction.

The objectives of the Glasgow Academic Exchange include providing opportunities for St. John’s students interested in international practice to study law in another jurisdiction; providing opportunities for St. John’s students to specialize in areas of law in which the University of Glasgow is world renowned; and providing opportunities for St. John’s students to make connections with young lawyers from around the world as they prepare for globalized legal practice.

Through the program, St. John’s students spend a semester abroad studying at the school’s beautiful campus in historic Glasgow, Scotland. In return, students earning their LL.B. degree from University of Glasgow come to St. John’s Law for a year of study and immersion in New York City culture and community.
