Recognizing the value of robust, international perspectives in the law and law practice, UIC Law provides a variety of international study abroad opportunities for current students, including semester-long exchange programs created in collaboration with renowned international partner schools. In a competitive legal market, studying abroad provides both academic and personal benefits, including gaining an in-depth understanding of a specific area of law, broader exposure to another legal system and culture, increased foreign language proficiency, and a network of international contacts. Students participating in these exchange programs earn academic credit towards their UIC Law degree while studying abroad.

Czech/Slovak Legal Institute Heading link
Following the Velvet Revolution and a visit to Brno, faculty and alumni of the UIC Law, together with the encouragement and support of former dean, Howard T. Markey, established the Czech Slovak Legal Institute. It was an interest in helping the Czech and Slovak Republics emerge from the communist era as independent nations committed to the rule of law that led to the establishment of the institute. A variety of programs for students, attorneys, judges, and friends of UIC Law were created over the years to foster a better understanding of the U.S. legal system as well as an appreciation of the cultures of the three partnering nations.
