The Host Country and Accomodations
The site of the program is Rio de Janeiro. Rio is home to some of the largest industries, law firms, banks, and universities in Brazil. In addition it is the world famous “Cidade Maravillosa”, the marvelous city. Students stay at a comfortable hotel in the heart of Copacabana Beach near one of the main shopping districts with numerous restaurants, movies, and clubs within walking distance. Some of the classes will be held at the hotel and some will be held at the University of Rio de Janeiro College of Law.
We hope this brief description of our program will persuade you to join us this summer in Brazil. We have tried to emphasize the unique features of our program including the structuring of optional organized visits not only to legal institutions but to important cultural sites in the host country, in addition to interchanges with members of the host country legal community. In this way, we offer a full cultural experience to our participants and not just a program of legal education in a foreign country.
