The communities that the law has an impact on span the globe, and the Global Learning / Study Abroad programs at Gonzaga University School of Law provide students with an opportunity to study international law while experiencing other cultures. Through the long-standing Florence program or the cooperative China program, students can take credits towards graduating while getting a new, unique perspective on the international legal community.

In the Brazil Law School Student Exchange, two students are selected by Gonzaga Law School’s Foreign Exchange Commission to attend the Sao Paulo Law School of Fundacao Getulio Vargas.
China Comparative Law
The six-week program takes students to several different Universities in China, where English-language comparative law classes are taught by both American and Chinese professors, with upper level Chinese students with English fluency joining the class.
