Course Description

Oxford University is one of the most prestigious universities in the world, with a history of over 800 years.  The summer program gives students insight into what it is like to study at university and allows them to make friends from around the world.

The Law course at Oxford is designed for aspiring lawyers and judges, and others who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the justice system.  The Law course focuses on key legal concepts in addition to debate and legal argumentation.  Students learn about different areas of professional study within law.  They also engage in case studies to analyze a wide range of legal theories. Through our Micro-Internship Programme, students have the opportunity to visit real-life workplaces and talk to professionals in the field.

The Time to Shine program allows students to demonstrate their skills and focuses on presentation, communication, and working as a team.  During the course, students participate in a mock legal trial and work in groups to develop a case for the defense or prosecution.  The mock trial culminates in a complete trial legal simulation, with judges, lawyers, prosecutors and defendants.
