49th Academy Details

The 49th Annual Academy of American and International Law (May 20 through June 29, 2012) is a six-week business law program designed for non-U.S. residents.

The Academy has nearly 3,000 alumni from 122 countries. Twenty-six countries were represented in the 2011 Academy.

This intensive, six-week course of study may be the best international legal education bargain in the world. The program is designed for lawyers from outside the United States and focuses on U.S. law and international business transactions. Participants from more than 20 countries study and socialize together, learning from each other and taught by some of the best teachers of international law from U.S. law schools and corporations.

The practical curriculum includes both skills training and substantive law subjects (legal writing, negotiations, mediation, international arbitration and litigation, contracts, international business transactions, project finance, mergers and acquisitions, and more).

Associate members of the Southwestern Institute for International and Comparative Law may send a person to the six-week Academy for a tuition cost of just $1,200.
