Paris, France Study Abroad Program: May 18-24, 2026

Application DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 15.

For 40 years, the University of Iowa College of Law operated an intellectually stimulating and culturally rewarding international and comparative law summer study abroad program in France. 2026 represents a new phase in our history. The program will only meet during the May intersession instead.

Students will spend the week visiting the courts and other institutions with speakers, including prominent judges and lawyers. There will be time for checking out touristic Paris as well.

For over 20 years, the program director has been Adrien K. Wing, associate dean for international and comparative law programs, and the Bessie Dutton Murray Professor of Law. She is one of the core faculty members in Iowa’s major specialty in international and comparative law.

Program Details

This program is open to law students who are attending ABA-accredited schools.
