Students interested in a semester abroad should begin planning with CGLP during their rising 2L summer. Students travel on a semester abroad during their 3L fall.
Law Students can do two different experiences to complete a semester abroad: semester long exchange (studying Law at a University Abroad) or semester long externships (these can be as long as 6 months, if combined with summer).
The application process varies depending on which type of semester abroad you are seeking to complete.
