Law: International Business & Trade

June 11 to July 12, 2023
 
It is a great pleasure to formally announce the 2023 International Business and Trade Summer Law Program in Krakow, Poland. This summer will mark the 31st year of our five-week cross-cultural summer law program, which is offered in cooperation with the prestigious Jagiellonian University, in Krakow, Poland.

Students build a summer experience in European Union and international business and trade law by selecting courses and an optional externship from the flexible modular schedule that offers many options to organize one's summer abroad program. Externships at top legal placements are offered for academic credit. Placements include but are not limited to Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC)-Legal in Warsaw; Olesinski Wspolnicy, Warsaw; Domanski Zakrzewski Palinka (DZP), Warsaw; Czyżewscy Kancelaria Adwokacka, Warsaw; Kubas Kos Galkowski (KKG), Krakow; and Traple, Konarski, Podrecki & Ass. (TKPiW), Krakow.   

Over the last few decades, the exponential growth in international trade and investment has intensified the demand for competent attorneys specializing in international business and development. American attorneys are increasingly called upon to negotiate with foreign governments, business enterprises, and financial institutions. Our summer abroad program is designed to expose students to the wide range of knowledge and skills required for success in the rapidly changing international arena. Students receive intensive training in the law of the European Union and global aspects of modern trade and business law, as they live and study side-by-side with Poland's finest student lawyers in one of Europe's most beautiful cities.

The emergence of the EU is one of the defining events of the 20th century. Our program provides the opportunity to learn first-hand how the EU affects the political, economic and social landscape of Europe and its impact on foreign relations. As Poland ascended to the European Union in the summer of 2004, this program offers students an incredible opportunity to witness the transformation of an entire political culture. As you prepare to join the ranks of international attorneys, learn about law of the EU and international trade and business from esteemed faculty and expert guest speakers.

A unique feature of the program is that American, Canadian and Polish students study side-by-side. A mutually advantageous outcome of this arrangement is students learn about other legal systems from each other and in the process create friendships, which develop into a network of international colleagues.

For those seeking the added benefit of cultural enrichment, Krakow, almost entirely spared the destruction wrought upon many urban cities of Europe during World War II, was recognized as the 2000 Cultural City of Europe. It is both an ancient royal city famous for its architectural beauty and cultural heritage, as well as a vibrant and modern city.

I hope to see you in Krakow. In the meantime, if you have any questions please let us know.

Sincerely,

Leah Wortham
