    The high cost of legal education for law students and many law school’s financial struggles have encouraged efforts to increase the educational value and to improve the self-sustainability of study abroad programs. This presentation will discuss summer program designs that provide rich cross-cultural education experiences through the creation of multicultural classroom and spaces, practicum and experiential learning opportunities, and an emphasis on the comparative and bilingualism.  The presentation will also discuss models of partnerships and collaborations with other law schools that contribute to program sustainability.
