Florence Summer Law Program

Study Law in a Culturally Significant Setting

There is a growing interest in comparative and international law courses that cannot be fully met during the regular school year. The Gonzaga Florence Summer Law Program is designed to meet this need -- and to do so in a culturally significant location.

The program's primary focus is on international aspects of social justice and human rights. Both areas are integral to our mission as a Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic institution of higher learning.

The program is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools.

A Beautiful and Central Location

The program's administrative offices and classrooms are located in a university-owned villa on the Via G. La Pira. Located 1-1/2 blocks north of the Piazza San Marco, the facility overlooks the Medici's botanical garden, the Giardino dei Semplici. It is situated in the heart of the University of Florence district and near the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore -- known as the "Duomo."

The refurbished building has a computer lab, wireless access in the classrooms, and a library with English-language books and periodicals.
