NYU Law Office of Global Programs invites students interested in applying for the Spring 2015 iteration of NYU Law in Shanghai to attend a Q&A session with Faculty Director Frank Upham on Wednesday, September 3 from 12:00-1:00 in Furman Hall 110. Lunch and refreshments will be served.
Professor Upham will discuss the academic offerings available to students in Shanghai, as well as the wide range of extracurricular opportunities, including a weekend trip to Beijing and numerous events, lectures and activities designed to help acquaint students with the local legal community and life in Shanghai. These include cooking classes, language courses, visits to local NGOs and businesses, and trips to Chinese court sessions. For more information about student life in Shanghai, please visit Life at NYU Law blog, where student blogger Kathleen Kaffer ’15 writes about her semester in Shanghai. The program website is also a helpful resource for information about courses in Shanghai and the faculty members who teach in the program.
The application period will re-open on Friday, August 29, 2014 and remain open until Sunday, September 7, 2014. Successful applicants will receive nominations to participate in the Shanghai program or to be placed on a wait-list by Friday, September 19, 2014. Final student decisions will be due by October 1, 2014.
All interested 2015 2L or 3L students, regardless of past admission status or application history, are encouraged to apply. Second-round applications will be evaluated independently of any prior application.
