Students in the International and Criminal Law Justice program participate in a one week seminar. This Advanced Criminal Law and Justice seminar, is held each spring in Washington DC.
"The Advanced Topics in International Criminal Law and Justice seminar was a great educational opportunity. The excellent quality of speakers left me wide-eyed and sitting on the edge of my seat for much of the program. Listening to the presenters for two hours could easily be the inspiration to a 30 year career." Daniel Landau JD 09
