International Programs
Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad Law Center (NSU Law) offers a wide variety of international and comparative learning opportunities, which include courses in International Law, Dual-Degree and Semester Abroad programs, clinical opportunities, research opportunities, and moot court competitions. NSU Law also provides students with the opportunity to earn a Certificate in International Law.
The Experience
Most of the world operates under a civil law system. Only the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and several other countries follow the common law principles that were originally developed in England and adopted in the United States during the colonial period.
Dual-Degree Programs
NSU Law dual-degree students attend either the University of Barcelona in Spain or Roma Tre in Italy for one semester during their second year to study civil law. Following graduation from NSU Law, students return to Spain or Italy for a full year of study. After completing the program and meeting each nation's bar admission requirements, students will also be awarded a second law degree from the university that they attended in Europe.
Semester Abroad Programs
NSU Law also provides students, with an opportunity to spend one semester at either Roma Tre in Italy or Charles University in Prague. NSU Law students who participate receive credit for classes that are taught in English at these partner universities.
