THE SUMMER LEGAL INSTITUTE IN LONDON
Boston University’s Summer Legal Institute in London provides lawyers and advanced law students trained outside the U.S. with intensive preparation in legal English and writing, and exposure to substantive American law topics in key areas of international business practice.
The Summer Legal Institute is open to graduates of law faculties outside the United States and to advanced, non-U.S. law students who are about to complete their law studies in their home countries. The program's content is ideally suited for current - and future - global lawyers who:
- Seek to improve their ability to communicate and work effectively in English with American-trained lawyers and U.S. law firms and corporations
- Want substantive training in important American commercial law topics
- Anticipate pursuing an LL.M. degree in a U.S. school, whether at BU Law or elsewhere.
