Program Overview

Program Description:

An exceptional opportunity for individualized study at Oxford, our program offers an in-depth exploration of an area of law in a tutorial setting. Conceived at Oxford, the tutorial method allows the student personal discussion time with his or her professor. Visit the website for a list of available tutorial subjects.

Site visits/activities include watching the Grey's Inn Moot Court competition, having access to the Bodelian Library, a pub crawl, and taking part in the a traditional grand dinner at the historic Magdalen College. The program requires a seminar on the English legal and legal educational system. The seminar will meet on five different occasions at times to be arranged. The discussions are led by English barristers and judges. One meeting consists of a tour of the Royal Courts in London, a conversation with a distinguished jurist, and a visit to Gray’s Inn in London, one of the four Inns of Court. As special guests of Gray’s Inn, Santa Clara students attend a traditional moot held between Santa Clara students and English barristers, which is followed by a reception and social hour.
