Admission Requirements
Admission is open to persons currently enrolled and in good standing at any law school in the world, and to graduates thereof. Graduate students and professors in international relations and international business may be accepted. Students at U.S. law schools that are not ABA-approved are eligible to apply, and will be asked to supply additional information in the admissions process. Persons from non-English speaking countries must be able to pursue instruction in English. Each applicant certifies that (s)he meets these requirements. An applicant who is currently a student at a U.S. law school should ask their law school to send our office a letter certifying that the applicant is in good standing. This letter may be mailed separately from your school to our office, sent in with your payment or faxed to us at +1-619-260-2230, attention Ms Cindy King.
Application for Admission
Application for admission may be made at any time as soon as the website is posted. Places on our programs are limited. Past Institutes have been oversubscribed, so early application is advised. Persons applying after March 12 are advised to contact our office first to discover if there are remaining places in the Institutes.
An application consists of five items. The first two are the Application and Personal Data sheet, which are submitted online. The next two are the signed USD Contract and the signed FERPA form (or a statement that you will not be submitting a FERPA form). The fifth item is your deposit check for $200 per program plus $50 for any Dublin or Oxford housing requested. (The deposit amount increases after March 12; ask our office.)
The Contract requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have the reader installed, you can download it for free from the Adobe Web site.
