Selection Process

June 2-21, 2012 | Optional Nile Cruise June 22-25, 2012

Be a Witness to History: Study Law on the Banks of the Nile and in the Cradle of the "Arab Spring." Enroll in this Study Abroad Law Program for the Study of Law in the Middle East at the American University in Cairo.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

All applicants must have completed their first year of law school and be in good academic standing. Applicants from schools other than Seton Hall University School of Law must submit a certified copy of their law school transcript, a letter of good standing from their dean’s office, and a certification of suitability for foreign study and travel. If an applicant is already admitted to the practice of law, a letter from the court of admission will suffice.

SELECTION PROCESS & REGISTRATION

Students will be selected on a competitive, rolling-admissions basis. Applicants are encouraged to apply early. Acceptances will be extended beginning in October. In evaluating a student application, we will look at the student essay, transcript, and general suitability for foreign travel and study. We generally enroll a diverse group of students each summer.

Upon acceptance, students will be provided with an acceptance package explaining procedures in detail. Seats in the program are secured by a non-refundable $250 deposit applied toward tuition, and are awarded in the order in which deposits are received, so students should register early.

It is anticipated that the deposit deadline will be April 1. If additional places are available after that date, students may be admitted subject to the discretion of the Program Director. Enrollment will be limited to 40-45 students.
