The need for international lawyers is on the rise and so are international legal jobs. The American University Washington College of Law provides students with unique international law opportunities abroad through semester exchange programs around the world, spanning four continents. These programs offer students a global perspective of legal studies and provide first-hand insights into international law. Not only are students immersed in different classroom settings and cultures around the world, but these programs also provide students with the opportunity to develop and strengthen foreign language skills. Students learn about the law as well as how to interact with global and transnational actors.
Through WCL's robust semester abroad opportunities, students have the ability to focus on different areas of law such as Arbitration, Business, Intellectual Property, Human Rights, International Trade, European Union Law, Environmental Law and more. Students participating in a study abroad program through WCL can expect to gain exposure to international legal studies, expand global networks, increase marketability, and gain invaluable experiences.
