Courses are taught by mix of visiting Notre Dame and UK-based faculty; all are esteemed experts in their field who are enthusiastic about educating the next generation of legal professionals. The courses are tailored to meet the needs and interests of current students, with an underlying thread of international or comparative law.
Learning doesn’t stop in the classroom—theory is brought to life through activities such as the legal London walk, discovering important sites that have influenced law. There are trips to European cities such as Geneva and The Hague, where students are able to interact with practitioners and experience how law is made.
Throughout the semester there are a multitude of conferences and lectures given by great legal minds which students are encouraged to participate in. Bringing together practitioners, students and academics, these talks aim to engender debate about current legal issues and broaden students’ horizons.
It’s not all academic: the Law School offers a number of social activities for the students. Our semesterly weekend retreat allows students to get to know their classmates and build a community among themselves.
