The William & Mary Summer Law Program in Madrid, begun in 1988, provides you the opportunity to live and study in one of Europe's most exciting cities.  Madrid reflects the varied past of the Spanish people, its rich artistic heritage, and its special cultural features, such as bullfighting and flamenco dancers.  Parks offer boating, fishing, tennis, horseback riding, and simple strolling.  The night life of Madrid is a unique experience.  From Madrid, the many other historic cities and regions of Spain are easily explored on weekend trips.

Through the summer program, American law students have access not only to prominent Spanish law professors, most with experience in American law schools, but also to expert Spanish law practitioners in government and private practice. Classes are taught in English by experienced Spanish law professors and William & Mary Law School faculty.  The program is hosted by the Fundacion Universitaria San Pablo - Centro de Estudios Universitarios (CEU), a leading Spanish cultural foundation that runs university centers in Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. Every year, a few select law students and/or graduates from several Spanish law schools attend classes and social activities with the American law students in the program.

In 2007, 95 students, including 34 from William & Mary, attended the Madrid Program. These students represented 45 law schools from across the United States.   In addition, five Spanish law students participated in the program.  Join us in 2008 for our 21st summer in Spain!
