Each summer the Law School sponsors a student exchange with several universities in Argentina and Chile. Students involved in the Linkage Program focus on human rights issues through participation in workshops at universities in Buenos Aires, Santiago and Sa Paulo and work with local NGOs. Students involved in the Linkage programs in Argentina and Chile also attend a three-day faculty seminar that draws participants from the entire continent.
Students live with host families.
The Law School pays students' travel and living expenses. In 2000, the Law School starts a Linkage Program with the Faculdade de Direito do Largo de Sa Francisco in Sa Paulo Brazil. This is the first year that YLS has included Brazil in the Linkage Program. Professors Owen Fiss and Robert Burt direct this Program as part of the Law School s Southern Cone Faculty Research Seminar. Applications to participate in this Program during Summer 2001 should be submitted in the fall semester.
