International and Comparative Law

A leader in global legal education, Seattle University School of Law understands that lawyers must be conversant in both global and national legal developments. As part of the growing emphasis on international programs, professors are conducting research abroad, students are securing internships in remote countries, the law school is sponsoring study abroad and exchange programs, and it is developing a comprehensive curriculum in international and comparative matters.

Seattle University School of Law established the first international human rights clinic in the Pacific Northwest and one of the few such programs on the West Coast, and the law school routinely brings in scholars from outside the United States.

The law school’s Legal Writing Program has a robust training program in Africa.
