online courseWelcome to the U.S.-German Summer Law School online courses!
Spend your summer attending high-quality courses and exchanging with students from all over the world!
The Faculty of Law at Justus Liebig University Giessen, the Marquette University Law School and the University of Wisconsin Law are looking forward to work with students from all over the world for the 12th U.S.-German Summer Law School.
By reason of COVID-19 we decided not to host an on-campus program this year, but to take the opportunity of offering a brand-new, student-tailored, high-quality online program.
During the two week long online course, students will study from home and meet excellent lecturers and practitioners from all over the world in their online courses. Besides, students have the opportunity to get to know their classmates from all over the world and become friends for a lifetime.
Even if COVID-19 makes a lot of things difficult this year, we don’t want to let it get us down but spend two amazing weeks together, with lots of unforgettable experiences, amazing people, interesting lectures and great memories, you will cherish forever.
