Hamline Law students think globally.

At Hamline University School of Law we recognize that the world is shrinking. Legal questions that were once simple domestic issues have grown into complex international quandaries. To be successful in today’s legal marketplace requires lawyers who think globally. Through a careful balance of domestic and international law, we prepare our graduates to face the questions of today’s global economy.

Hamline University School of Law offers study abroad programs in England, Israel, Norway, Puerto Rico, and Hungary. These programs offer opportunities for students to expand their learning and experience in an international context. All programs include trips to local legal institutions.  Courses are taught in English by faculty from around the world, including Hamline University School of Law faculty, guest instructors from other U.S. law schools and academics local to the program.

Through these international study opportunities and Hamline’s diverse international law curriculum, Hamline provides an innovative approach to legal education and exceptional legal experiences at home and throughout the world.

Global Initiatives Scholarship

Hamline University Law School is committed to increasing student’s cultural competency through international experiences. Thus all students who entered Hamline Law in Fall 2010 or after are eligible for a Global Initiatives Scholarship. This scholarship is designed to help defray the costs of studying abroad. $1000 is awarded to students who participate in a Hamline Law study abroad program, and $500 is awarded for study abroad sponsored by another ABA approved law school. The $1000 scholarship will be credited to the student account in the term of participation. The $500 scholarship will be credited to the next term the student is enrolled at Hamline Law and after transcripts have been received from the sponsoring law school documenting satisfactory completion of the program with a passing grade. These scholarships will be prorated if the student does not incur all program costs ( e.g. student does not live in housing if provided by the program, etc). Please contact the Office of the Registrar at 651-523-2468 for details.
