Studying Abroad
terests. When picking a useful program, there is always a temptation to make a decision based on geographic location. Admittedly, I had an interest in Brazil prior to choosing to study there. How- ever, I would not have traveled to Brazil to study an area of law that had no relevance to my inter- ests. I have no doubt that I would have enjoyed my time abroad no matter what I was studying. However, studying abroad in law school is a major commitment – both in terms of time and money. On the other hand, these experiences can be priceless. The chances of this happening increase dramatically with proper planning.
Answering my original question, I have found that studying abroad during law school was quite certainly a good idea for me. I had learning expe- riences I could have never had in a conventional
classroom. I made connections that will benefit me for years to come. I expanded my knowledge of an area of law that is relevant to my future. And perhaps most importantly, I fostered new interests I did not have prior to traveling to Bra- zil. On a final note, I should emphasize that my analysis here is framed around the benefits to a legal education. Students should never stop learning. There is an endless array of cultures to learn about. Furthermore, very law student should strive to be an informed global citizen. I have never traveled abroad without returning with amazing memories and lifelong lessons. These experiences may or may not add to a le- gal education. But with well-informed decision- making, studying abroad can be one of your best choices in law school.
