Editor’s Note E
by Tessa Walker
nhance your legal education with a study abroad expe- rience you will never forget. The annual study abroad issue is designed to guide students as they explore the
many opportunities to work or study outside of their home country during law school.
The 2015 Study Abroad Listings (pp 29) are organized alpha- betically by country, then city, and then by program name. These study abroad listings are also available online at the ILSA website (
www.ilsa.org). You can search the online list- ings by keyword or sort by program title, program dates, cost, or country. Also, the online listings include links to individual study abroad program websites.
If you have questions about studying abroad during law school or aren’t sure how to pick the perfect program, read Study Abroad Programs: Why You Should Consider Them by Professor Francisco J. Rivera Juaristi (pp 20).

Laura and Matthew share why they chose to study abroad, the best parts of their international experiences, and how it has positively impacted their lives.
