SUMMER STUDY : SWEDEN : ACADEMIC PROGRAM
This program is approved by the American Bar Association.
The classroom experience is enriched by visits to the courts of
either Sweden or nearby Denmark. In addition, there will be opportunities
to socialize both formally and informally with law faculty and
members of the Swedish Bar and Judiciary.
To enhance the program's global perspective, in some classes members
of the University of Lund Law Faculty will co-teach with American
Law Faculty.
All courses comply with the standards of the American Bar Association
and the Association of American Law Schools. Students must contact
their respective law schools regarding residence credits and, where
appropriate, converting semester credits to a quarter system. Participation
in this or any foreign summer program is unlikely to accelerate
graduation. Students should review ABA Standard 304, Interpretation
4 in this regard.
There is ample leisure time throughout the program, however, class attendance is mandatory for all enrolled students, American and International.
Upon completion of the program, a grade report will be mailed
by Suffolk University Law School to the student’s designated home
address, and a transcript to the student’s law school. The transferability
of credits must be determined by the student’s current law school.
Students should seek approval of credits from their own school
in advance of application.
The grading scale is the same as that regularly applied at Suffolk
Law School. Students will be graded on a scale of 0.00 to 4.00 (courses are generally
not taught on a pass/fail basis).
