Participating in a UW Law School Exchange Program
The Law School participates in nine exchange programs with foreign universities. In an exchange program, UW students pay the same tuition and fees to UW that they would pay for a semester at UW but attend foreign law schools or programs. In exchange the foreign schools send their students to the UW Law School. Some of the foreign programs are taught in English. Some, however, require proficiency in another language. Currently, the UW Law School has exchange programs with the following schools:
- JLU-Giessen, Giessen, Germany
Classes mainly taught in German but many classes are now taught in English
