But Barcelona has architectural treasures from every age, from twisting medieval streets and renaissance palaces to its recently completed art museum. Both Miro and Picasso were from Barcelona, which today continues its tradition of cutting-edge modern art. Students may wish to remain for the June 24th Feast of San Juan. The Barcelona Institute will organize visits of legal interest, such as to the courts, which began jury trials for specific crimes in 1996. Informal talks will be held with judges, practitioners, or faculty members on international topics.
Enrollment is limited.
After being prepared to function in the legal environment, each student will work for a law firm in Barcelona. The student may gather facts, and may draft, review, or translate contracts, opinion letters, trial or arbitration documents, and the like. Seminars integrate the work experience. Each applicant should submit a transcript with fall grades and a curriculum vitae listing law courses which will have been completed by next summer, work or clinical experience, and linguistic abilities, as well as two faculty references. Spanish is open to accompanying persons.
