In theory, study-abroad programs offer immersive and potentially transformative exposure to foreign law for students and participating faculty alike. In practice, such programs run the risk of being viewed as the end, rather than the beginning, of a law school’s commitment to transnational legal education, and of becoming a form of expensive crypto-tourism that is neither integrated with, nor taken as seriously as, the “real” law school experience. This panel will explore ways in which law schools can capitalize upon study-abroad programs to transform and internationalize both their pedagogy and their scholarship.
