Led by the Guanajuato Summer Law Institute, study-abroad opportunities for UNM law students can take them nearly anywhere they'd like to go.
They can study abroad for one or two semesters during their second or third year. Through the university's direct exchange agreements with schools around the world, UNM law students pay the same tuition and fees to study abroad as they do to attend law school at UNM. For details on study abroad opportunities through these agreements, visit UNM Study Abroad Programs.
Additional study-abroad opportunities are available through American Bar Association-approved programs.
Subject to ABA rules and UNM law school approval, students can make individual arrangements to study at a foreign law school not covered by the above programs. UNM law students pay the program-specific tuition and fees for these programs.
The first step for students interested in a study-abroad program is to set up a meeting with Program Director Daniel Ortega at or 505-277-5723.
Students are strongly encouraged to review the program procedures and forms before the first meeting so they can prepare questions in advance.
ABA criteria limit eligibility for study abroad to 2L and 3L students who are in good academic standing. Prior to meeting with Daniel Ortega, students should contact the registrar at the UNM law school to verify good academic standing. Students must be in good academic standing upon application and right before departure.
The following forms apply to UNM semester-abroad programs. Please visit the Guanajuato Summer Law Institute website for information on its application procedures and forms.
