International Comparative Law:
London

Mitchell Hamline School of Law in collaboration with University of Greenwich: School of Law and Criminology

Mitchell Hamline School of Law, working with the Center for Law and Business, recently opened registration for an amazing opportunity to study abroad in London during Summer 2023! It is offered by Mitchell Hamline in collaboration with the University of Greenwich: School of Law and Criminology, London, England. This program, with U.S., British, and other EU and international faculty offers a unique chance for students to connect with a global community of lawyers.

Students will have rigorous, hands-on practice working on the application of important current topics. In our global community, issues of business, environmental, criminal, and immigration affect all of us personally and in our practice as lawyers at all levels: small or large, private or government law.
