Exceptional courses, expert faculty, dynamic location
Mitchell in London is an exceptional opportunity to study comparative law with international scholars and top practitioners. This innovative summer program offers in-depth courses exploring international business transactions, comparative criminal law and criminal procedure, comparative negotiation and dispute resolution, and comparative property rights. Classrooms are located in the world’s leading center of business.
Course Format
The London courses are based on real-life practicum exercises. There will be two sessions each day beginning with a short lecture/presentation by U.S. and British faculty. The presentations address various topics in the exercises. Participants then work in small groups to discuss and analyze issues raised in the exercises. Following intensive small group work, each session concludes with small groups reporting to the entire class, with faculty guidance. Additionally, working in teams of two, participants prepare three short debriefing and planning papers based on what was learned during the daily sessions.
