Description

Now in its 40th year, this oldest on-going program in Oxford provides a unique chance for students and practitioners to study comparative law and the history of the common law in its original setting. Participants reside at St. Edmund Hall, an Oxford University college, which traces its roots to the 13th century, when Edmund of Abingdon, monk and the subsequent Archbishop of Canterbury, is believed to have lived and taught at the location. It became St. Edmund Hall in 1317. Of the oldest original Oxford communities, St. Edmund Hall alone survives. The program includes a trip to the Inns of Court and the Royal Courts of Justice in London and an evening of Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon. With all of England, Scotland, and Wales located a short and fairly inexpensive distance from Oxford, participants enjoy many other travel adventures.
