New York University School of Law participates in exchange programs with eleven law faculties around the world. Encouraging our students to study abroad, and receiving exchange students from other countries, enhances the Law School's goal of providing opportunities for the study of global legal issues. Whether you are from another country looking to come to New York, or an NYU student wishing to spend a semester abroad, the perspectives gained away from your home institution will undoubtedly impact your learning experience. With the return of our students from abroad, and the arrival of new exchange students, we hope to foster an environment where international understandings complement national legal educations.
NYU School of Law encourages our J.D. students to consider the possibility of studying abroad as a means to become familiar with a foreign legal perspective in a way unavailable to them in New York. Depending on each student's individual course of study, the feasibility of spending a semester away from the Law School varies.
J.D. students at NYU School of Law currently in their first or second year are eligible to apply for an exchange semester during their second or third year. Students who transferred to NYU School of Law from another law school are eligible for an exchange semester during their third year. Currently there are 12 approved partner law faculties at which students may study abroad.
