THINKING ABOUT THIS SUMMER?
How About a Semester Abroad in Denmark next year?
Chicago-Kent has an exchange agreement with the University
of Copenhagen that permits our students to study at that
school for a semester and earn credits that can be applied
to your JD degree. The deadline for applying for their fall
semester is April 1 2005, and the deadline for applying
to go for Spring semester is October 1, 2005. The semester
dates are Sept 1, 2005 – exams in December 2005, and February
1, 2006 – exams in May 2006. Currently, we have 2 Danish
exchange students here at Chicago-Kent, and one 3L who was
there this past fall, so if you are interested, contact
Dean Lazar for more information!
DePaul University College of Law Summer Program
The Human Rights Law in the Americas Summer Program provides
students with the opportunity to study international human
rights law in San José, Costa Rica. The Summer Program links
basic principles of international law with an overview of
the Inter-American Human Rights System and a special focus
on how human rights ideas, advocacy, and activist strategies
have transformed Latin American society and politics.
The Summer Program runs from June 20 - July 19, 2005 and
costs $3,700 which covers tuition and fees for 6 credits
of coursework room, board, local transportation, and additional
expenses. Students live with Costa Rican families and experience
local culture firsthand and may remain in the country after
the program ends to study Spanish or intern with a local
human rights organization.
