WMU-Cooley law students are spending part of their summer in Oxford, England. They are participating in a five-week study abroad program housed at Hertford College at the University of Oxford. The students are taking full advantage of this experience and have packed a lot into their days and weekends. They are engaged in stimulating classes taught by world class international law professors and learning about Britain.
Here are some highlights:
1. A trip to Middle Temple in London where students dined in the elegant building that has been a home to the British legal profession since the 14th Century. Five signers of the Declaration of Independence were members.
2. A trip to Bath to see the spa the Romans built in AD 60.
3. Concerts at the centuries old Sheldonian Theater, Christ Church Chapel, and Exeter College Chapel, and a visit to the Museum of Natural History.
4. Touring London on a double decker bus: Students learned much from the locals as they helped to translate across the cultures. Did you know adhesive bandages are called “plasters” in England?
5. And being present for a moment in British history. The immediate aftermath of Brexit and the election of Britain’s second female prime minister. A lot has been learned by speaking with British citizens and listening to the BBC coverage.
WMU-Cooley has enjoyed its time in Great Britain and will remember these historic events.
WMU-Cooley Law School Victoria Vuletich is directing the law school’s Study Abroad program in Toronto. She and her students are sharing their experiences throughout the 2016 summer semester.
