Summer Program in Salzburg, Austria
Study law in Europe with a U.S. Supreme Court Justice! Pacific McGeorge was a pioneer in overseas summer law school programs, and has had a continuously running summer program in Salzburg, Austria since 1975. Students are invited to participate either in this program by itself or in conjunction with participation in the London Summer Program on European Legal Studies.
Salzburg, Austria - July 5-26, 2008
The summer program on International Legal Studies is a three-week program offered by Pacific McGeorge in Salzburg, Austria. The summer program is open to students and graduates of ABA-approved or state-accredited law schools and fully-accredited foreign law schools.
The Salzburg summer program offers international and comparative law courses in both public and commercial law fields. Courses are taught by European and American faculty. For the nineteenth consecutive year, Anthony M. Kennedy, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, will co-teach a course on Fundamental Rights in Europe and the United States during the 2008 summer program in Salzburg.
Salzburg is located at the geographic and historic crossroads of Central Europe. Classes are held in the Law Faculty building of the University of Salzburg, located in a renovated 16th Century palace in the heart of Salzburg's historic Old Town.
Scholars from throughout Europe have traditionally been attracted to the beautiful setting offered by Salzburg. In addition to law students and graduates from the United States, the Pacific McGeorge summer program regularly enrolls students from several foreign countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Dubai, and Spain. In summer 2007, 110 American and international students participated.

What students have to say about the Salzburg Summer Program:
"I am a 2L at an East Coast law school who recently returned from your Salzburg summer program. I just wanted to thank you for making this excellent program available to me and other non-McGeorge students.
I had an outstanding academic experience learning from Justice Kennedy and Professor Douglas-Scott, as well as an amazing time living in Salzburg. The most memorable aspect of this program, however, was living and studying with the McGeorge students. I arrived in Salzburg without knowing a single person in the program, and though the McGeorge students arrived in established groups of friends and acquaintances, they could not have been more open and friendly. I made some terrific friends from McGeorge, which absolutely made my summer. It is a great credit to you, your administration, and your faculty that your school attracts such wonderful people. You must also be doing an excellent job of establishing a community as well as running an academic institution.
Thank you again for offering the Salzburg program, which I hope you will continue for many years. I will certainly encourage students in the first year class at [my law school] to spend their next summer in Salzburg, and from now on, if anyone asks if I know of a good place to attend law school on the West Coast, McGeorge will be the first school that comes to mind."
