First Annual Summer Session In International and Comparative Law in Giessen, GermanyJuly 19 through August 14, 2009
A joint offering of Marquette University Law School, the University of Wisconsin Law School and the University of Giessen Law SchoolSummer of 2009 will see the inaugural session of the joint Marquette, University of Wisconsin, University of Giessen Summer Session in International and Comparative Law on the campus of the University of Giessen in Giessen, Germany. Through these three law schools and their friends world wide, the program will bring together students from all over the world to study comparative and international law for a one-month session lasting from July 19 through August 14. Faculty will be drawn from all three schools and students will select two two-credit hour classes from a curriculum of four classes. The curriculum will be supplemented with day and overnight field trips to courts and other legal institutions in Germany and neighboring countries. Classes will be held only during the day and only four days each week, Monday through Thursday, in each of the four weeks of the program. The schedule thus leaves students with time to explore the countryside around Giessen and nearby Frankfurt and enjoy long weekends in Germany and the countries surrounding Germany. Paris to the west and Berlin to the east are a mere 300 miles from Giessen.
