Widener Law has offered students the exciting opportunity to study abroad at the
University of Nairobi in Kenya during the summer since 1988 – one of the first summer abroad programs at any American law school. Enjoy the amazing cultural experience of living in a beautiful country with world famous wilderness reserves and beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean while studying the law. Enjoy a visit to Kenyan courts of law to gain a better understanding of the country’s legal system.
Exciting OpportunitiesIn addition to the daily excitement of experiencing a different culture, you will find a number of special opportunities during your trip. During a special Intersession Week, you can travel or undertake special projects. Thrill to Kenya’s
diverse wildlife on
safaris designed to illustrate Kenya’s varied and unique landscape, or climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The possibilities for cultural and environmental exploration are immense.
Course WorkYou can take one or two courses (6 credits) during the program. Classes are held from Monday through Thursday; there are no classes during Intercession Week to allow you time for travel or cultural activities. Past trips have offered courses such as Comparative Constitutional Law or International Environmental Law, although the academic focus of the program varies from year to year. Please feel free to examine previous
course information.
