Summer Abroad

The School of Law launched Global Justice Advocacy, a four-week study abroad program in Johannesburg, South Africa, co-sponsored by The Mandela Institute of the University of the Witwaterstrand Law School in South Africa, in 2007. Courses offered include global advocacy, international humanitarian law, international criminal law, and South African constitutional law, and are taught by faculty from Seattle University and the Wits Law School. Equal numbers of U.S. and African students are enrolled, and work together on course projects.

The law school also co-sponsors Summer Legal & Policy Study in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offering courses in international and environmental law. The program is offered through a consortium between Seattle University School of Law, Georgia State University College of Law and the University of Tennessee College of Law.
