In rare instances, Mitchell Hamline may allow students to receive credit for study of law outside the country in a program operated by a foreign institution rather than by an ABA-approved law school. Mitchell Hamline\u2019s educational objective for permitting a student to study law outside of the United States in a program operated by a foreign institution is to provide a student with the opportunity to learn about a foreign legal system in an immersive setting. Specific goals of foreign study in a program operated by a foreign institution include providing students:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"default\">\n<li>An opportunity to develop in-depth substantive knowledge of other legal systems beyond the curriculum offered in Mitchell Hamline\u2019s approved study-abroad programs or other study-abroad programs established by ABA-approved law schools.<\/li>\n<li>Exposure to legal systems outside of the United States, through the direct interaction with judges, lawyers, faculty, and students from other legal systems to better understand legal processes and reasoning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Approval of credit for study in a program operated by a foreign institution is only possible if the student, prior to study, has met the ABA Criteria for Accepting Credit for Student Study at a Foreign Institution and received prior approval from the Vice Dean of Academic Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study abroad options Earn part of your law degree while living in a foreign country.
