Florence • Rome • Siena
May 30 - June 26, 2009

Penn State University's Dickinson School of Law hosts its Florence • Rome • Siena summer program at the University of Florence, Italy. Members of our faculty will collaborate with European scholars and practitioners to offer fully accredited courses in Comparative Constitutional Law, Comparative Law, International Business Transactions, The International Sale of Goods — The CISG In Comparative Perspective, and Transnational Litigation and Civil Procedure. The courses are designed to provide overviews of civil law and common law systems with emphasis on the practical aspects of international law.

The Florence program is oriented to students from within the United States and to students and lawyers from common and civil law countries outside of the United States. Lectures will be conducted in English.

While studying in this program, students will have ample opportunity to appreciate not only Florence, but also the rich cultural and social heritage found in the Tuscan setting and cites like Rome, Venice, Pisa, Bologna, and Siena.

A nonrefundable registration fee of $200 and a letter of good standing must be remitted after submission of the application form. Because only a limited number of students may enroll, we strongly recommend early enrollment in the program. Although we prefer that registration materials (application, registration fee, and letter of good standing) be received no later than March 1, 2009, students may be admitted to the program after this date based on available space.
