The American Studies Program began in 1998 as a joint project of Project Poland and the Catholic University of Lublin. Information is available at www.kentlaw.edu/amstudies.
The program equips students to take a leading role in the development of Polish law and enables them to deal effectively with international commercial law issues. It produces lawyers and professionals who understand interrelations among Polish, American, and international legal issues.
The faculty consists of Chicago-Kent professors who travel to Lublin to teach one to two week intensive courses in selected subjects. Prestigious Polish law professors also teach in the program as well as prominent American lawyers working in Poland. Study at Chicago-Kent Polish students may also spend one or two semesters at Chicago-Kent in the LLM program. In addition, students learn how to use technology to improve the practice of law.
With the support and cooperation of Telekomunikacja Polska SA, Chicago-Kent and The Catholic University of Lublin have implemented an innovative a “distance learning” component in the program. This component uses video conferencing and the Internet to allow faculty in Chicago to teach students in Lublin. Grand Opening in Lublin of the American Studies Program, March 1, 1999. |
