Oxford University Pre-Law Program Study Abroad Info Session

Program

Under the direction of the Department of External Studies of the University of Oxford, participants study a variety of subjects in the British tradition of lectures and tutorials. The program course is organized under two general areas: Law and Society (Britain and America) and Introduction to the Anglo-American Legal System. These subjects are taught by members of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies at Wolfson College, University of Oxford, and a senior professor of The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. Following the English university tutorial system, a significant paper is required of each participant. The program provides an ideal introduction to American law studies. The subjects emphasize the heritage of English culture and legal institutions fundamental to the American legal system.

Integrated into the program are numerous special field visits to places of legal, historical and cultural interest, such as London and Stratford-upon-Avon. Sites of particular interest include the Houses of Parliament, the Royal Courts of Justice and the Old Bailey, local courts, Royal Albert Hall, Blenheim Palace and Warwick Castle.

Locations

Located 56 miles northwest of London, the city of Oxford is home of Britain?s first university, founded in 1167. Today, the University of Oxford is a federation of 36 independent colleges, many of which are gems of medieval architecture with magnificent chapels and beautiful gardens. Few cities offer such history and beauty. Oxford provides a stimulating setting for an academic program in English and American law and exposes students to aspects of British cultural life. Students will have access to the Bodleian Library, one of the finest research libraries in the world.
