Focusing on Comparative Perspectives of Law and International Development, the Rio Program partners with the Fundacion Getulio Vargas Faculty of Law ("FGV Direito-Rio"), one of the best law faculties in Brazil. We offer students the widest possible exposure to Brazil, Brazilian society and legal institutions, and to diverse learning environments, including classes supplemented by role-playing and presentations from local lawyers and government.
