Law program at Chicago-Kent. Our JD curriculum includes a Certificate
Program in International & Comparative Law. The specialization
provides a core body of students interested in International Law the opportunity
to delve into their specific areas of interests through a broad range of
International Law courses and seminars, and through independent study projects
guided by our renowned international law faculty.
We are always looking for enthusiastic
individuals to get involved with the organization. To take part in the

ILSA members actively participated
in study abroad and international exchange programs. Most recently, our
members have traveled to India, Zimbabwe, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Greece,
Hong-Kong and South America. Each program has a unique focus, but most
include both formal class settings for which credit is earned, and practical
legal experience through work in a foreign law firm or other legal organization.
