Law Study Trip to Europe

Law Study Trip to Europe

The Law Study Trip to Europe will be a exciting and carefully curated experience exploring some of the best cities to visit as a law student.

To get behind the scenes of the vast international law and its applications, our adventure will start at the coastal city of The Hague famous for its many international courts. The Hague is the seat of government of the Netherlands. It is famous for being the permanent home of the United Nations' International Court of Justice and the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

We will explore the environment where  diverse minds from all over the world converge to create policies and treaties that define world politics, commerce and human relations. One of the most interesting courts to visit will be the Peace palace where most international disputes are settled and later down the street in a swanky modern building is the famous International criminal court for a deeper understanding of international criminal law and humanitarian issues.

Our journey will head south to the french capital, Paris with its grandiose appearance. Here, we will have an opportunity to engage local students at local university school of law, for a moment of intellectual collaboration and diplomacy. Later an excursion to a leading international organisation will top our intellectual quests before indulging into the rich cultural offerings of the ‘city of love’

Not to lose the steam in our legal adventure, we will embark on a journey south east  to the Alsace region famous for its natural forests and beautiful terrain. The city of Strasbourg will be our home for the few days as we practice our diplomatic bearings by exploring the international and intergovernmental institutions present.

One of the most picturesque cities, Strasbourg houses the international court of human rights, the European parliament, Council of Europe among many other international agencies. Our desires for exploration will not stop there as we will visit one of the leading schools of law for a diplomatic engagement.

The city also boasts a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its Grande Île (historic city center) and is famous for its medieval architecture, including the impressive Strasbourg Cathedral.

To top up our academic trip, we will explore the historical centre of Strasbourg  starting with the grand Strasbourg Cathedral, Alsatian Museum and La Petite France: A picturesque district characterised by half-timbered houses, cobblestone streets, and the Ill River, offering students an insight into the traditional Alsatian culture.

Strasbourg was heavily influenced by the shifting control between France and Germany, especially during and after World War II. Visiting the city provides an opportunity to explore the impact of border changes, conflicts, and treaties on European history. We will visit one of the famous Chateaux in Alsace and later experience a rare site related to World War 2.

As it's situated near the border with Germany, we will have an excursion across the river Rhine to the city of Kiel for more cultural experiences.
