Spetses: June 20 - July 9, 2010
IN LIGHT OF THE LEGAL AND CULTURAL traditions of Greece, summer study in that country is particularly appropriate for law students seeking specialization in admiralty and maritime law, public international law, conflict of laws, international business transactions, environmental law, and legal institutions of the European Union. With the view to serving those interests, Tulane Law School has sponsored summer sessions in Greece every year since 1980.
The 2010 Greek Isles sessions will be held in the islands of Rhodos and Spetses. There will be two Rhodos sessions and one Spetses session. In the First Rhodos session (May 30 - June 18), students may concentrate on Admiralty, International Conventions and the Law of the Sea (8 courses are offered). In the Spetses session (June 20 - July 9), students may concentrate on private international law, comparative law, business law, international procedure, and healthcare. The program for the second Rhodos session (July 11 - July 30) will focus on issues of Comparative Law associated with the transacting and regulation of international business transactions in the European Union. All courses are taught by well-known professionals in settings that enhance an understanding of the international dimensions of the issues and resources at stake. Students may enroll in one, two, or all three sessions for up to four credit hours in each session. Accordingly, Tulane’s nationally and internationally recognized summer offerings may be combined to secure a total of up to eight credit hours in two sessions and up to twelve credit hours in three sessions.
Spetses
One of the most beautiful Greek isles it is renowned for its pine-fringed beaches, for its traditional architecture and ambiance (only horse drawn carriages and motorcycles are allowed on the island; no private cars!) and is the inspiration behind John Fowles’ novel, The Magus. It is located two-hydrofoil hours southwest of Athens, twenty hydrofoil minutes from Hydra, and ten hydrofoil minutes from the Peloponnesian coast. Spetses is ideal for study, enjoyment of its gorgeous woods and beaches, and evening entertainment. It is also a comfortable base for exploration of classical Greece. Possible weekend excursions are: Epidaurus, Mycenae-Olympia and Delphi-Corinth.
Affiliated Institutions. Tulane Law School has an agreement for educational cooperation with the Aegean Institute of the Law of the Sea and Maritime Law, located in the city of Rhodos. Tulane Law School also has long-standing relationships with the Law Schools of the Universities of Thessaloniki and Athens. Faculty members from those institutions teach in Rhodos, and Spetses, and frequently at Tulane.
