Penn LawAround the World

Global challenges – whether political, social, economic, or

environmental – will defi ne the 21st century. The global fi nancial

crisis, the H1N1 scare, the Copenhagen Summit and new terrorism

threats are just some recent examples of dozens, even

hundreds of ways in which lawyers will be central to

addressing, confronting and resolving urgent problems

facing the world. Penn Law is responding by prioritizing

international legal studies as a subject of academic

inquiry and an important area for practical training.

Penn Law’s long history as a leader in

teaching international and comparative

law serves as a strong foundation for

the expansion of our international

programs. Our outstanding faculty

is engaged in research about legal

systems throughout the world,

collaborates with scholars on every

continent, and is constantly invited to

consult for international and non-U.S.

organizations. Students benefi t from our

unique emphasis on cross-disciplinary education, which allows them to study regional history, politics

and advanced language, creating the perfect environment for students who are serious about focusing

on international legal studies during their law school careers.

Penn Law’s international, comparative and non-U.S. law curriculum continues to expand each year. We

offer an abundance of courses in international legal studies, as well as joint degrees and experiential

programs that provide students unparalleled opportunities. Recently appointed Deputy Dean for

International Affairs Eric Feldman and Associate Dean and Executive Director for International Programs

Amy Gadsden are working to broaden Penn Law’s curricular and extracurricular offerings and develop

new and exciting opportunities in the international realm.

Whether you want to focus on human rights or international banking, Asian law or Islamic law, Penn

provides the intellectual and institutional resources that you will need to develop and fi ne-tune your

expertise. There has never been a more exciting time to pursue international legal studies at Penn.

We invite you to join us.

Letter from the DeanLetter from the Dean

PENN LAW: LEADERSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES THEN...Penn Law has pioneered the teaching of international, comparative and non-U.S. law at many points in its long history. From its founding through the end of the 19th century, the Law School regularly featured international law and international jurisprudence as mainstays of its curriculum. Charles Willing Hare, who served as the second law professor at Penn beginning in 1817, taught international jurisprudence as part of a three-year course to prepare students in the fi eld of law. When Penn established its full Faculty of Law in 1852, Professor George Sharswood’s international law course was one of eight classes that constituted the formal legal curriculum. And in 1899, Dean William Lewis sent one of his most promising young faculty members to France to prepare courses in Roman and continental European law.

While Penn Law’s fi rst century offered fertile ground for cultivating scholarship on law as it is practiced beyond the United States, it was during the post-World War II era that the Law School sunk deep roots into international legal studies. The searing experience of the war and the formation of the United Nations put international law on the public agenda in an unprecedented way. In the spirit of the times, Deans Earl Harrison and Owen Roberts ensured that Penn Law stood at the forefront of the fi eld of “transnational law,” developing courses in public international law, law of international and regional organizations, confl ict of laws and comparative law. In the 1960s and 1970s, Professors Covey Oliver and Noyes Leech solidifi ed Penn Law’s reputation in international and comparative law, generating some of the era’s top legal scholarship on international law and U.S. foreign relations law.

Overview of InternationalLegal Studies at Penn …AND NOW

Penn Law continues to be a leader and innovator in international legal studies. Beginning in the fi rst year of law school, students can select courses in public international law and East Asian law. After the 1L year, classroom opportunities in international law abound. In the spring 2010 semester alone, Penn Law offered 21 courses in international and comparative law – everything from human rights lawyering in the 21st century, to international arbitration and tax, to justice reform in Japan, to law and the Holocaust. Cross-disciplinary joint degree and certifi cate programs allow for in-depth examination of the forces that shape international and non-U.S. law. Outside the classroom, large numbers of students participate in extracurricular activities focused on international legal studies. The International Law Organization, International Human Rights Advocates, Latin American Law Students Association, Jessup International Moot Court, East Asian Law Review and Journal of International Law are among the many student activities that involve direct contact with some of the most important scholars and practitioners working in the international arena today.

Penn Law offers myriad opportunities for research and international experience outside the U.S. Each year, Penn Law students study at law schools in Asia, Europe and the Middle East through our study abroad programs. Through the Summer Human Rights Fellows Program, the Mead Fellows Program and the Penn Law International Internship Program, fi rst year students can engage in human rights, development and legal practice work in dynamic locations around the world. The Transnational Legal Clinic allows students to gain legal experience in settings that cut across cultures, borders, languages and legal systems. Finally, our Global Research Seminar brings together faculty and students to produce cutting edge scholarship on contemporary global legal challenges.

Penn Law students join a vibrant community of academics and practitioners who specialize in international and comparative law. Our faculty members are recognized around the globe as leaders in their fi elds and bring their knowledge of comparative systems and transnational challenges into the classroom daily. We host more than 100 top legal scholars and students from around the globe annually via the Bok Visiting International Professor Program, the Visiting Scholar and Researcher Program and the Graduate Program, which offers the LLM, LLCM and SJD degrees.

We encourage you to explore our robust offerings in international legal studies and look forward to working with you to design an individualized curriculum that prepares you for legal practice in the global 21st century.

EAST ASIAN LAWFew law schools can match Penn’s deep and broad curricular offerings in the two most important legal systems in East Asia. Standing faculty members Jacques deLisle and Eric Feldman are preeminent scholars in the fi elds of Chinese and Japanese legal studies respectively and guide students interested in pursuing careers focused in these dynamic countries. Beyond the classroom, students can pursue a joint certifi cate or degree in East Asian studies or obtain a master’s degree in international affairs through the Lauder Program, which also provides students with unparalleled language, research and internship opportunities. The East Asian Law Review gives students access to leading researchers and practitioners in the fi eld, and Penn Law offers study abroad in China and Japan for those who wish to immerse themselves further. Up to four students every year accompany a Penn faculty member to Waseda University to participate in a week-long symposium on a cutting edge legal topic of international importance, and in 2009-10 Penn Law welcomed more than 30 students from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand through the JD, LLM, SJD and visiting scholar programs.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS LAW Penn Law’s corporate and transactional law faculty is fully engaged in comparative and transnational law issues. Students can choose from a wide array of courses including international arbitration, international bankruptcy, international business transactions, international civil litigation, international tax law, international trade regulation, European Union law and Islamic fi nance. Students in the 2010 Global Research Seminar are analyzing issues in securities law reform for international and U.S. regulators. The Wharton School offers additional programs and opportunities for students interested in international business and the law and the Journal of International Law publishes leading scholarship in the fi eld. In 2010, Penn Law established the Mead Fellows Program, which will provide summer funding to 1L students interested in international economic development and the law. Two Penn Law study abroad partners – Sciences Po in Paris and ESADE in Barcelona – offer our students opportunities to earn a degree or certifi cate in international business law.

Penn Law recognizes the importance of fi rst-hand experience in providing students with the skills they need to thoroughly examine global and comparative legal issues. The Global Research Seminar is an intensive international research course that facilitates engagement between faculty and students in a global setting. The semester-long seminar includes a one week overseas fi eld research visit, which provides students with an opportunity to pursue research in a real-world setting while developing important research, interview, analysis and reporting skills that will sustain them in legal practice.

Penn Law Professor David Skeel, who has received multiple awards for outstanding teaching, will lead the Spring 2010 Global Research Seminar. Professor Skeel’s seminar will consider the foundations of contemporary corporate governance through an intensive study of Italian corporate governance and Italy’s place in the overarching structure of the European Union. Students will conduct hands-on research during a visit to Rome and Milan over spring break – including meetings with the Milan Stock Exchange, Consob (the Italian securities regulator) and other government and private sector experts. The seminar’s principal work product will be a report commissioned by one or more of Italy’s regulatory agencies.

Penn Law offers a cross-disciplinary program that is unrivaled among leading law schools. Law students may take classes and earn certifi cates or joint degrees related to international and comparative studies at schools and programs throughout the University.

JOINT DEGREESStudents interested in complementing their JD degrees with specialized study in the international arena can choose from two formal joint programs:

• JD/MA, International Studies - The Lauder Institute of Wharton

• JD/MA, Global Business Law - Institut d’Études Politiques (Sciences Po)

CERTIFICATESStudents can earn a certifi cate of study in one of several disciplines. Typically, these programs require that students take three or four courses in the granting department and one or two courses from a prescribed topic area at the Law School. Please note that there is a nominal administrative fee for students earning a certifi cate. The Penn Law faculty has approved the following certifi cates for students interested in international legal studies:

Certifi cate of Study in Cross-Sector InnovationStudents interested in this Certifi cate must successfully complete fi ve courses: three courses taken in the School of Social Policy & Practice’s Non-Profi t /NGO Leadership program and two at Penn Law. The Certifi cate is designed for students interested in the management and creation of non-profi t or non-governmental organizations in their long-term professional goals to learn about leadership, cross-sector collaboration, organizational structures and social movements. As part of the certifi cate program, students may earn a Leading Social Change Fellowship.

Certifi cate of Study in East Asian StudiesStudents interested in this Certifi cate must successfully complete four courses in the general area of East Asian Studies. Three of these courses are taken in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and must be primarily related to the study of East Asian societies. The fourth course is taken at Penn Law and will ordinarily include a component involving East Asia, but may be in the area of international law.

Certifi cate of Study in Middle East and Islamic StudiesStudents interested in this Certifi cate must successfully complete four courses in the general area of Middle East and Islamic Studies. Three of these courses are taken in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and must be primarily related to the study of Middle Eastern or Islamic societies. The fourth course is taken at Penn Law and will ordinarily include a component involving Islam or the Middle East, but may be in the area of international law.

Themis Joint Certifi cate in International Business and LawStudents who spend a Study Abroad semester on exchange at ESADE Law School in Barcelona have the option of earning a Themis Joint Certifi cate in International Business and Law.

Launching in 2010, the Penn Law International Internship Program (PLIIP) places approximately 10 JD students each summer in paid and unpaid positions at local law fi rms around the world. The program offers students a unique opportunity to gain cross-cultural understanding and hands-on experience in non-U.S. legal practice.

The PLIIP was created in response to an increasing need for lawyers adept at reconciling diverse cultural expectations as they tackle legal issues, draw from comparative examples and analyze international sources. The program is designed to expose students to international and comparative law issues in an overseas practice setting, and therefore emphasizes internships in foreign fi rms, rather than the foreign offi ces of U.S. or multinational fi rms.

The PLIIP offers pre-selected internship opportunities with preeminent law fi rms around the globe. Penn Law has created these opportunities through its exceptional international network of scholars, practitioners and alumni. In 2010, Penn Law interns are expected to work for fi rms in China, Colombia, England, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Korea, Nigeria and Japan.
