fter the first year of study, students may apply to study in one of the consortium's foreign programs for a full semester.

THE UNIVERSITY OF AARHUS

The University of Aarhus is the second oldest and second largest university in Denmark. It has formal co-operation agreements with more than 260 educational institutions in Europe alone, and is in contact with approximately 500 institutions worldwide. The Law School is engaged in more than 40 bilateral agreements with European and American Law Schools. It should be noted that a Danish university education is not a "guided tour". It is up to the individual student to get the most out of what is offered. Individual studies and participation in informal study groups with fellow students are encouraged. A distinctive feature is an academic environment, which may seem informal to foreign students. Professors and other staff members chat informally with the students and associate with them during breaks.

The University of Leiden, The Netherlands

Another study abroad option, The University Leiden, was founded in 1575 and currently has an enrollment exceeding 15,000 students. It is a fully accredited, autonomous, government-financed university. The Leiden University School of Law is the largest in the Netherlands, with approximately 5000 law students enrolled in the various undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs offered by the law school. The Unviersiteit Leiden offers a renowned tax program that is considered among the best in the world. The full-time law faculty numbers over 300 and is one of eight faculties that constitute the university.
