Sungkyunkwan University College of Law
June 22, 2012 - July 7, 2012 (Academic Program)

The Fordham-SKKU Summer Institute in International Law held in downtown Seoul, Korea, on Sungkyunkwan University's (SKKU) lush mountainside campus is a huge success. 153 students from 28 U.S. and Canadian law schools attended the 2011 Institute; the Institute has enrolled over 800 students from 5 countries and 60 law schools since its inception in 2006.  Students enroll in three or six credits. Students must enroll in one of 3 three-credit courses in international and comparative law subjects taught from June 22 to July 7, 2012 by distinguished faculty from Fordham, Columbia, University of Virginia, and University of Washington law schools. Classroom instruction will be supplemented by field trips to legal institutions and cultural sites and a basic Korean language class (for non-Korean speakers).


After the academic portion of the program, students have the option of participating in the Institute's 5-week internship (July 7-August 10) program for three additional credits at Korean courts, government ministries, multinational corporations, human-rights organizations, and law firms.

**The deadline for application has been extended to April 17, 2012.  We still have many amazing internships available.**
