The University of Oxford-The Ohio State University Summer Law Program, one of the oldest overseas law programs in existence, has been operating since 1987. The program is ABA-approved.

The program offers students the unique opportunity to live abroad and study with faculty from both The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and the host university - the University of Oxford, a feature that many study abroad programs do not offer. Students will learn about the British and American legal systems, and comparative and international law, through a combination of class work, guest lectures by distinguished British academics and policy makers, and field trips in Oxford and London. These are designed to broaden and deepen students' understanding of Britain's history, culture, and legal system.

The program provides room and board during your entire program, making it a hassle-free experience for students to focus solely on studying and exploring England and Europe at the same time! Students will be living in the historic setting of Oxford's Brasenose College, where daily activities, including lectures, dining, social activities, and more will take place.

This is a credit-bearing program approved by the ABA, and allows students to earn up to 6 credit hours toward their JD degree. The program is open to all JD students enrolled at the Moritz College of Law and JD students from other ABA-Approved law schools, as well as U.S. graduate students and foreign law students at other foreign law schools. Acceptance of any credit or grade for any course taken in the Oxford summer program is subject to determination by the non-OSU student's home school.
