Our summer program in Venice will be from
June 17 to
July 12, 2013. We will be returning to
Venice International University (VIU), located on the beautiful island of San Servolo, just minutes by waterbus (vaporetto) from St. Mark's Square. VIU is an international institute of higher learning and research center, offering opportunities for advanced training and research in an international context. In cooperation with VIU, Widener Law offers you the opportunity to take courses in
beautiful Venice, Italy for the summer, and enjoy tours of Venetian legal and cultural institutions.
Art, Culture, and History
Famous for the canals that run through the city as well as its long and colorful history, Venice is sometimes referred to as the “City of Bridges” or the “City of Water”. Enjoy the city’s rich cultural heritage while visiting
St. Mark’s Basilica or the
Accademia museum gallery of pre-19th century art. If you’re interested in art or cultural history, then Venice is filled with
attractions that should satisfy your interests. Several long weekends provide ample opportunity to travel through Italy and since Venice is well situated in the center of Europe, you can easily visit many other European cities, opening numerous possibilities for fun and exciting exploration.
Course Work
Some of the
courses offered this summer are 3 different courses in Comparative Procedure, Evidence, & Trial Practice, 3 different courses in European Union Law, and once again Justice Randy J. Holland of the
Delaware Supreme Court will teach Comparative Corporate Law. The Delaware Supreme Court is the leading corporate law court in the United States. This is a fabulous opportunity for those interested in corporate law.
