Buenos Aires, Argentina

As the world becomes an integrated global economy, lawyers must become acquainted with international law and foreign legal systems. As the fastest growing economic region in the world, South America has become a key player in global economic and legal relations. As a result of the creation of MERCOSUR, the South American counterpart to NAFTA, South American companies are well poised to become competitive players on world markets. Thus, Argentina presents an ideal location for the Institute in International Law. The Summer Institute in International and Comparative Law will focus on comparative law, business law and international human rights. Argentina provides a fertile backdrop for the study of each of these.
