Today, Columbia's commitment to international and comparative law, reflected in the breadth of its permanent faculty and visiting professors who specialize in these fields, in the scope of its international curriculum and law library collections, in its rich and innovative study abroad programs, and in its path-breaking regional centers, has no peer among U.S. law schools.
Human Rights Internship The more than 1,000 "graduates" of Columbia Law's Human Rights Internship program have been instrumental in drafting the South African Constitution, documenting human-rights abuses of gay and lesbian youth in America's prisons, and establishing the International Criminal Tribunals in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia.
Study Abroad/Foreign Exchange Six years ago, Columbia was the first U.S. Law School to establish a double degree program providing its participants with both a U.S. Juris Doctor and a foreign law degree. |
