*Students who are not residents of Georgia or do not attend a law school in the University System of Georgia pay an additional $250.

The University of Georgia School of Law reserves the right to cancel the program due to insufficient enrollment or other compelling circumstances. In the event of cancellation, deposits will be refunded.

"For students interested in a career in international law or in Europe, the Brussels program offers a great way to enhance contacts and knowledge of the field. As official seat of the European Parliament, a powerful legislative body of the European Union, Brussels hosts a diverse mix of diplomats from all over the world."
Russell Edwards, Class of 2010
"The program was a superb introduction to EU law. It piqued my interest in the field to such an extent that I wound up doing an LL.M. degree in EU law and have practiced EU antitrust law in Brussels for nearly 30 years. Even the program alumni who do not practice EU law say that the experience proved useful to them in terms of broadening their horizons and giving them an introduction to other legal systems. As our clients are increasingly doing business on a global scale, I find that having this kind of international exposure is becoming an important component of a well-rounded legal education."
