Miles between Columbus, Ohio and Oxford, England, where many of our students spend the summer after their first year of law school studying with some of the world’s best minds.
Student Voice “At Oxford, I took Alternative Dispute Resolution with Professor Cole and Professional Responsibility with Professor Whelan, an English barrister. Cole supplemented her class with speeches by international experts, one of whom was a partner in the London branch of Jones Day, and the other, a negotiator for Walt Disney Pictures. I learned a great deal about the law. It was especially interesting to see the ways our system differs from England, and the world in general. However, class was only a part of my experience. Before and after the term I spent a week in Paris, and I also had time to visit Dublin and Barcelona. While the term was in session, we had day trips to Stratford to see a Macbeth performance by the Royal Shakespeare Company; we visited London multiple times to see the court system of England; we visited castles, rivers, cafes, pubs, and much, much more. I even played soccer with Professor Simmons and his family a few times a week and had tea with Professor Cole almost every day.”
