New England Law | Boston—along with California Western School of Law, Mitchell Hamline School of Law, and South Texas College of Law / Houston—offers an exciting opportunity to study law during the summer at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, National University of Ireland, Galway. Taught by experts in the field from Ireland and the United States, the six-week program focuses on courses related to international and comparative human rights law and accountability for human rights violations.
The program has attracted many distinguished visiting faculty members, including U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who taught in 2014 and in 2008; Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who taught in 2011; Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court Ruth V. McGregor (retired), in 2010; and Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., in 2009. Approved by the American Bar Association, the program is open to students in good standing at ABA accredited U.S. law schools and at Canadian and European university law programs. Participants may take courses for credit (which requires successful performance on final examinations) or as auditors (final examinations are not required). All courses are graded on an A–F scale. Course instruction is in English.
