The purpose of this site is to provide students interested in studying abroad information about applying to study at one of four English-language foreign law schools that have agreed to allow Washington University law students to study there for a semester. Under this arrangement, a law student continues to pay tuition to Washington University and receive law school credit for approved courses taken at the foreign law school.
Law students are generally responsible for costs of travel and living expenses while abroad.
Any student wishing to receive law school credit to study must submit an individual application, which will be reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Study and then submitted to the faculty for approval. If the application is approved by the faculty, then the necessary pre-visit notification form will be completed for submission to the Office of the Consultant on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. For more information, see requirements. Applications to study abroad for either Fall 2001 or Spring 2002 are due in the Registrar's Office by Friday, March 30. There is a limit of 4 students per foreign school per year, so you may want to list alternate schools and semesters.
