Kansas State Prelaw Program in London

London
Law, Politics, and Literature

We have created a new study abroad opportunity for Pre-Law students to spend two weeks in London studying the Law, Literature and Politics. It is titled "London: Law, Politics and Literature" and begins May 25 until June 8, 2010. With the exception of one day in Oxford and one day in Stratford Upon Avon, we will be in London. Students are required to enroll in two courses : Political Science 670 "Law, Politics and Literature in London" and English 450 "Shakespeare's London" but all students will be eligible for Kansas State's in-state tuition and fees of $1,280 total for the six (6) credit hours so it is quite a bargain.

Highlights of the experience include
• Tour the Royal Courts of Justice
• Explore the Law School of Queen Mary University of London
• Participate in a walking tour of the Inns of Court
• Visit the Tower of London, and the Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park
• Visit areas currently and historically associated with the London legal and punishment system

FYI: The United States Meets Europe

Posted on behalf of the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy:

The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is delighted to announce the launch of a
new program, The United States Meets Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders, which
will be holding a Weeklong Seminar in Berlin from June 29th - July 4th, 2009.

The United States Meets Europe: A Forum for Young Leaders has been designed
with the intention of bringing together young individuals (mid-later stage
students or young professionals with 2 years experience) from both sides of the
Atlantic in order for them to gain an insight into cultural diplomacy, exchange
ideas and experiences, and learn from influential figures already working in the
field. Participants will develop contacts on both a social and professional
level and participate in challenging discussions. The Forum aims to examine the
state of the American- European relationship today and to consider the role of
cultural diplomacy in supporting this relationship.

For further information about The United States Meets Europe, please visit our website.

The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy is an international, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization concerned with the promotion of intercultural understanding. Our activities include conducting research into cultural diplomacy and organizing programs that facilitate cultural exchange. The Institute for Cultural Diplomacy Forums have been developed to facilitate intercultural exchange at the grass roots, civil society and political levels. Participants are encouraged to develop their own leadership initiatives, which are supported through an online forum and personal consultation.

Today, information about the Masters (LLM) programs at the University of Notthingham School of Law has arrived on Dr. Wood's desk. Here's an excerpt:

US college students may not be aware that their undergraduate experience could
be excellent preparation for spending twelve months reading for the degree of
LLM at one of the UK's premier law schools beflre they enrol for their JD back
at home. Our Masters programmes are open to talented and highly-motivated
arts and social sciences graduates, with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
