After stepping down as Georgia's Dean in 2003, Shipley took on the responsibility to establish the Oxford Law Semester, plan and design the basic curriculum, recruit students for 2006 and 2007, and secure approval of the program by the American Bar Association. Shipley was the American professor in residence at Oxford during the 2007 program, teaching International Intellectual Property and Comparative Administrative Law. He regards his semester teaching in the Oxford Law program as one the best experiences in his 30+ years as a legal educator.
