Participants attend three hours of classroom legal instruction Monday through Friday. These classes, taught by a Delaware attorney, provide an overview of topics in American law and concentrate on building skills which are essential to the effective use of written Legal English. The seminars are presented by a number of internationally-known judges and attorneys, all outstanding members of Delaware's Bench and Bar and experts in their respective fields. Of course, there is plenty of time for questions, answers, and discussion. Participants visit several different state and federal courts, meeting with judges and their staff to discuss issues of mutual concern.
Participants visit several major American law firms in Delaware, New York, and Washington.
Finally, the Institute contains a full calendar of cultural and recreational trips and activities. Full-day trips will include historic Philadelphia, Baltimore, and the Amish Country of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There are Saturday excursions to Atlantic City's casinos and to the Delaware seashore or ski resorts, depending on the season. Overnight trips to New York City and Washington include both professional and cultural activities, with plenty of time for shopping. The Institute is ideally located to take advantage of Delaware's substantial corporate and commercial legal activity.
