Summer Law Institute in Seoul, Korea

Fordham University Law School and Sungkyunkwan University College of Law are pleased to co-sponsor the first annual Summer Law Institute, a three week academic program in international and comparative law in Seoul, Korea.

Students may enroll in three credit hours by taking one of the following courses: International Human Rights Law, International Litigation and Arbitration, International Business Transactions. These courses will be taught in English by Fordham faculty and the program will also offer optional Korean language lessons for those students interested in learning some basic Korean. Students will be able to enroll in three credit hours during the program, and the courses qualify for credit toward the J.D. degree.

Following the program, students who would like to stay on for legal internships at Samsung Corporation’s general counsel, the Korean supreme and constitutional courts, and human rights organizations, as well as some paid summer associate positions at leading Korean law firms, will have the opportunity to do so under the auspices of the Institute's non-credit internship program. Program students will also tour the Korean National Court, the Supreme Court, the National Prosecutor's Office and the Foreign Ministry, and attend an extensive selection of extra-curricular tours and social events that enable students to experience Korean cultural life.
