Program Overview

Program Description:

Program Dates: July 2 - July 26, 2018

Program Cost: $900 per credit hour

2018 Course Offerings: Comparative Professional Responsibility (3 credits) and The Civil Law (2 credits)

Two courses are offered during the summer program in Venice, one on Comparative Professional Responsibility and the other on The Civil Law. Classes are held in classrooms at the renovated classroom in Wake Forest University Property - Casa Artom, four days a week. Class times may vary to accommodate guest speakers’ schedules and field trips. Past field trips have included visits to courthouses, administrative offices, private law offices, and a chemical plant on the Venetian lagoon. Italian students are an integral part of the summer program. In the past, Italian law students and recent graduates have come to the program primarily from the law faculty of the University of Padua, as well as the Universities of Venice, Ferrara, Florence and Bologna. For many students, the most rewarding aspect of the summer program is the opportunity to meet, study and become friends with students from another country. Both American and Italian students have a chance to share their perspectives on their own legal education, as well as their country’s law system and legal profession.
