Quinnipiac University School of Law offers an ABA-approved summer program at Trinity College Dublin, one of Ireland’s premier institutions of higher education. This program provides an introduction to the Irish legal system and Irish constitutional law as well as a variety of classes in Irish, comparative and international law.
Located in the heart of Dublin, Trinity is the constituent college of the University of Dublin, one of Europe’s oldest universities, steeped in history and tradition. Trinity College Law Library, which has holdings in Irish, British and European law, has recently expanded its holding to include North American law. The college’s historic Old Library contains not only the Book of Kells, a world-famous volume of ninth-century illuminated manuscripts of the gospels, but an unparalleled collection of books, art and artifacts relating to Irish history.
In the 21st century, there are global implications to almost every area and specialty of law. To be effective, lawyers must develop empathy and cultural competence, while understanding diverse international perspectives.
Thanks to a unique array of programs, organizations and travel opportunities, the Quinnipiac School of Law has made global learning a key part of our students’ legal education.
The International Human Rights Law Society organizes an immersive service trip and legal conference where students engage with community leaders, NGOs, law schools and local attorneys. Students have the opportunity to stay with host families and exchange legal ideas with students and faculty from local law schools.
Students may also participate in study abroad programs offered at and by other schools, as long as the programs are ABA-approved and the student receives clearance from our academic dean. In the past, our students have studied throughout Asia, Europe and Africa.
In partnership with the Civil Justice Clinic, the Human Trafficking Prevention Project is a student-run organization that strives to raise awareness about human trafficking. By hosting training sessions and on-campus events, the Human Trafficking Prevention Project teaches diverse audiences to identify and respond to situations of human trafficking and ultimately make a difference in the lives of victims and survivors of trafficking.
Quinnipiac Law students attend seminars in the U.S. and abroad on a range of topics, including human rights, global conflict, humanitarian aid and peacebuilding. Students from Quinnipiac have previously attended the annual Oxford Consortium on Human Rights and Humanitarian Action at Hereford College and Oxford University as well as the annual Human Rights and Humanitarian Action Consortium at Yale University, Quinnipiac University and the United Nations.
Quinnipiac Law’s dedicated experiential education faculty will advise you on study abroad opportunities in various international locations. Most recently, our students traveled to South Africa.
