SLI Alumni Praise the Program
"The SLI program was a great experience by all
aspects: the content of the courses, sharing experiences with lawyers coming from every part of the world, the contact with the professors and the location of the accommodations in the Crofton building."

The application deadline is approaching for Boston University's Summer 2008 Legal Institute in London (SLI), a unique program specifically designed for lawyers and law students trained outside the U.S.
The course offerings include:

July 6 - 26, 2008
Part B: Key Doctrines in American Law and U.S.
Legal Practice
July 27 - August 16, 2008
All courses are taught by faculty from Boston University School of Law and/or Boston University's acclaimed Center for English Language and Orientation Programs (CELOP).
Participants live in furnished apartments in the heart of South Kensington, one of London's safest and most exclusive districts and home to Boston University's London Center on Harrington Gardens.
The application deadline for both parts is May 1, 2008. Participants may enroll in Part A, Part B, or both. Because enrollment is limited, interested candidates should apply as soon as possible. I invite you to forward this email to interested colleagues or to visit our web site or contact me directly if you'd like more information.
We hope to see you or one of your colleagues in London this summer!

Part B: Key Doctrines in American Law and U.S. Legal Practice
July 27 - August 16, 2008
Participants select two of the four courses listed below.
U.S. Contract Law: This course teaches substantive contract law so lawyers can understand and interpret contracts written in English, by American lawyers - with a particular emphasis on the business and commercial aspects of the law.

Students explore both corporate governance and transactional issues. The goal is to provide students with a solid understanding of the structure and an overview of the substantive rules of American corporate law.
International Business Agreements: In this course, students gain hands-on experience in structuring, drafting and analyzing various documents including global joint venture agreements and privatization provisions; sales, distribution and franchise agreements; international finance and loan agreements; and technology licensing
agreements.
International Trade Regulation: This course reviews WTO discipline-limiting measures for protecting domestic industry, including safeguards, antidumping and countervailing duties, and the protective effects of national health and safety measures as well as the operation of market opening and import protection procedures available under U.S. law
