IN TODAY’S INFORMATION AGE, GLOBALIZATION IS AFFECTING ALMOST EVERY AREA OF THE LAW.

Whether you plan to practice in a small town or a major urban center, you will need to under-

stand this fundamental transformation of the profession and its impact on your future.

The Indiana University Maurer School of Law is the ideal place for you to prepare for a career

in the global legal profession. Our international law program is ranked 18th in the nation by the

U.S. News and World Report.

Here are some of the reasons why:

Global Externships in Seven Countries:

Each year, the Law School selects about 25 students for fully funded externships in

corporations, firms, and nongovernmental organizations in Argentina, Brazil, China, India,

Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Thailand.

International Scholars Program:

Two Indiana Law students are selected each summer as Eric T. Werner Scholars, spending

approximately eight weeks at Xi’an Jiao Tong University conducting research with colleagues

at the Information Security Law Research Center, and approximately four weeks interning in

Microsoft’s policy division in Beijing. We also have a relationship with Cambridge University’s

Snyder Scholarships, which fund post-graduate internships at the Lauterpacht Research Centre

for International Law at Cambridge University.

Exchanges and Summer Study Abroad:

If you want to be an exchange student or spend a summer abroad, we can accommodate

you. We have semester exchange programs in Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Ireland,

New Zealand, Poland, and Spain, and summer study abroad programs in cities such as

London, Paris, Florence, and Barcelona.

Unique Dual-Degree Opportunities:

We have global partnerships with 19 foreign law schools and universities and Law School

alumni in over 55 countries. These connections offer you many options for tailoring your global

education to suit your career goals. Our LLM program is more than 100 years old — one of

the oldest in the world.

Support:

The Law School has an entire office and staff dedicated to international programs (an

assistant dean, two professors, and two staff members). That office has support from a vast

array of international programs through the university’s Office of the Vice President for

International Affairs.

global learning,in the heart of theunited statesYou don’t have to go abroad to learn more about the world. At Indiana Law, you’ll develop global fluency —

sensitivity to different legal cultures and contexts, and the flexibility to work effectively across jurisdictions —

right here in Bloomington:

Making a Global Impact:

Three of the Law School’s five research centers are dedicated to global issues: the Center for Constitutional

Democracy, the Center for Law, Society, and Culture, and the Center on the Global Legal Profession. More than

a dozen of our faculty focus their scholarship on international and comparative law, which provides opportunities

for research assistant positions.

Giving Back and Public Service:

Each year, JD students work as affiliates of the Center for Constitutional Democracy doing post-conflict work in

emerging democracies, including South Sudan, Burma, Libya, and Liberia. Students often work on international

issues, from immigration to conservation law, in our other research centers and in our seven clinics.

Bringing the World Here:

Each year, a wide range of lectures, distinguished speakers, symposia, workshops and conferences are dedicated

to international issues, including the Oxford Internet Institute, the China Law Forum, the Wolter-Bradley Colloquium,

the Smith Endowed Lecture, and the Snyder Endowed Lecture (with Cambridge University).

Visiting Foreign Scholars:

We welcome visitors from around the world every year. Long-standing visitors come from the Université

Panthéon-Assas (Paris II) and Worcester College, Oxford.

Opportunities to Engage:

You’ll have the opportunity to participate in a variety of international student organizations, including the Indiana

Journal of Global Legal Studies, the Jessup Moot Court Competition, the Pro Bono Immigration Project, and the

International Law Society.

A Global Community:

About 75 foreign lawyers come to Bloomington each year to earn graduate legal degrees or to take advantage

of our certificate in legal studies, a new certificate program in international cybersecurity law, and a joint degree

in information law and policy through the University of Oxford. You’ll have the opportunity to attend classes

with these students and get to know them and learn their perspectives on the globalization of your profession.

INDIANA JOURNAL OF GLOBAL LEGAL STUDIES

The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies is a student-edited, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal focusing

on the intersections of global and domestic legal regimes, markets, politics, technologies, and cultures. By its very

nature, the globalization of law challenges the conventional boundaries among subject disciplines and professional

research practices, as well as the boundaries around sovereign state regulatory regimes.

The Journal is a forum for both ongoing research and interdisciplinary, international collaboration.

The long-range goals of the Journal are:

– To establish collaborative relationships among scholars of different disciplines, especially law, political science,

economics, philosophy, and anthropology

– To lay the foundations for new modes of interdisciplinary communication

– To advance scholarship in this area by encouraging the creation of new linkages across interdisciplinary theories

of global change

– To facilitate the development of reforms and new perspectives on domestic and international regulatory structures

Based on first-year academic performance and a writing competition that takes place at the end of the first year,

selected students are invited to join the staff of the Journal during the summer after their first year.

It’s no secret that the world is shrinking. Technology, mobility, and population growth are all contributing to a

society that is fast becoming global in every sense. And as the world becomes smaller, lawyers need to be prepared

to meet an entirely new set of client demands and challenges.

To help students become better prepared in today’s global environment, the Maurer School of Law offers programs

to introduce students to career options around the world.

Each year, a select group of about 25 Indiana Law students spend the summer in Argentina, Brazil, China, India,

Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Thailand as Milton Stewart Fellows working at highly reputed law firms,

corporations, and non-governmental organizations. More than 80 students have served as Stewart Fellows since

the program’s inception in 2010.

The Stewart Fellows found their experiences extremely rewarding. “Being a lawyer means being able to adapt

to new circumstances, understand foreign concepts, and apply previously unknown laws to solve a client’s

problem,” said Matt Showalter, ’15. “My externship put these skills to the test. I had to analyze Indian law, analogize

U.S. and U.K. legal trends to developing trends in India, and apply these standards to unique problems. In my

career, I expect to meet similar challenges and approach them in the very same way.”

Meanwhile, back in Bloomington, the law school’s innovative Center for Constitutional Democracy JD Affiliate

Program provides an opportunity for law students to participate in the work of the Center. Organized into country

teams, JD affiliates get real-world experience working on constitutional and legal reform projects, and sometimes

travel with Center personnel on advising trips. The CCD also administers a unique PhD program in law and

democracy that addresses the many ways in which law fosters democratic institutions, political participation,

and human rights.

“As a member of the Vietnamese democratic movement, I am grateful that a fellowship made it possible for me to

join the Center in 2008 to conduct research on constitutionalism in Vietnam and judicial review in new democracies,”

said Huong Nguyen, a PhD fellow at the CCD. “My study in Bloomington is crucial in preparing myself to better

serve my country and the global cause of democracy and human rights.”
