From July 6–24, the ninth annual Fordham Law Summer Institute in New York City takes place in the Law School’s brand-new state-of-the-art building, across the street from Lincoln Center. This year’s program has close to 120 participants from some 25 countries around the globe.
The Summer Institute begins with an introduction to the U.S. Legal System and offers a survey of the areas of law most important for global attorneys in the 21st century, including International Arbitration, Intellectual Property, Information Technology Law, Corporations, Mergers and Acquisitions, Financial Crime, and Compliance. The program also offers Legal English seminars and special sessions on applying to and preparing for U.S. LL.M. programs.
Also included are a visit to the United States Bankruptcy Court, a tour of the United Nations, and a briefing at the multinational law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius. The program ends with a gala dinner at which certificates of completion are awarded to program participants.
