In a partnership with Monash Law School of Melbourne, Australia, the study program sends students to Prato, Italy, where Monash Law School has a campus. ASU Law’s Associate Dean for International Engagement, Diana Bowman, oversees the program and emphasizes the benefits of a study program like this.
“Our students are provided with an opportunity to study with leading scholars and practitioners from around the world that they wouldn’t otherwise have access to,” Bowman said, “while simultaneously building relationships and networks with other law students from around the world.”
Classes in this innovative program are taught in English and cover topics on international refugee law, international criminal justice, comparative European legal systems, and more. The program also gives students the opportunity to build a network of colleagues all around the globe, something that could be very valuable later on. The short schedule of the study program also leaves time for externships, which every law student must complete, making the program more accessible to those who haven’t completed their externship yet. The program also increases a student’s chances for employment, with the connections and experience gained during the stay.
