Summer Abroad

Berlin, Germany: July 25th - August 7th, 2010

Berlin Summer School Award Ceremony

Session: July 25th - August 7th, 2010

This two-week program focuses on the cutting edge of alternative dispute resolution (including negotiation and mediation) in a cross-cultural setting. It also presents the exceptional opportunity for students to obtain mediator certification in one of the most fascinating cities of Europe. Berlin, the new capital of unified Germany, is uniquely cosmopolitan with cultural attractions that few other cities can match. This is a joint program of Tulane Law School and the Institut für Anwaltsrecht of the Humboldt University Law Faculty, one of the premier German law schools. The Humboldt Law Faculty is located in one of the former palace buildings of Frederick the Great in the Museum District in the center of historic Berlin. Enrollment is limited to 60 American students and 60 German and other international students. The Berlin program in 2009 was attended by students from 25 countries.

COURSES

The academic portion of the program consists of one three-credit course entitled Intercultural Negotiation and Mediation. The course will be conducted entirely in English. There are no prerequisites. The class is taught in a workshop setting. Note: Tulane students who take this course may not take Dean Jackson's Mediation course or Professor Barron's Negotiation & Mediation Advocacy course.

There will be additional lectures, presentations and panel discussions featuring internationally renowned scholars and practitioners. The program includes many cultural and social events.
