NEW Asia Study Abroad Program and Travel Resources from the Law Library

Dean Matthew J. Wilson recently signed an exciting partnership agreement with Nagoya University in Japan and Kyung Hee University in South Korea. With this agreement, all three universities will be working together to provide an amazing study abroad experience in Asia for Akron law students. The four-week program will prepare students for international careers as well as the practice of law across cultures.

For more information, the Law Library has recently created a useful Asia Study Abroad Travel Guide. The library has also recently acquired new books on travel in Asia, which are available in the casebooks section for four hours at a time. The books available are:

  • Tokyo by Rebecca Milner and Simon Richmond
  • Seoul by Trent Holden and Simon Richmond

See someone at the circulation desk to borrow these books.

Studying abroad can not only provide academic benefits, but professional ones as well. We encourage all Akron law students to look through the new Travel Guide and books to learn more about Asia and consider if studying abroad is for them.
