About the Program: An Overview

Santa Clara began its Singapore program in 1984. Over these twenty-three years, we have gained experience, insights, and contacts, including a close relationship with the Law Society. Singapore is a fascinating, multi-cultural city in modern Asia, with a recent  British colonial past. With its British based legal system and English language, Singapore has become the commercial trading center of the region. Our program provides an  excellent opportunity to study Southeast Asian law, in an unsurpassed location.
