Welcome to the blog!

We have set up this forum as a place for Washington University law students spending their summers abroad to share information, thoughts, advice, and details about their experiences with their counterparts around the world.

This summer, at least 70 law students will spend their summers abroad.  Many will attend WU’s Summer Institute for Global Justice in Utrecht.  Others will participate in WU-organized summer public interest projects in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and Nepal.  Others have put together their own study or employment opportunities.

We’re generally allowing comments to our students’ posts, but in order to stop the spammers, comments will be moderated.  That is, any comment you post won’t appear immediately — I’ll need to approve it.  Rest assured, I will do so with all possible haste.

My name is Michael Peil, and I am the Assistant Dean for International Programs at the law school.  I will be acting as “moderator” for the summer.  If you are a Washington University law student spending the summer abroad, and would like to participate, drop me an email.

With that, I’d like to ask our other participants to take a moment to introduce themselves and their summer program of choice.
