A Global Approach to Law
The International and Comparative Law Program offers a wealth of courses, seminars, and clinics taught by top scholars, as well as prominent guest speakers, highly regarded journals, international moot court opportunities, and exciting student organizations.
The International and Comparative Law Program (ICLP) engages in research, advocacy and public education in a multitude of areas of international and comparative law. Our faculty is composed of outstanding legal scholars and renowned international visitors who make UCLA Law a focal point in these fields. Our students can pursue a specialization in international and comparative law, and attend many events, workshops, and conferences featuring eminent scholars, practitioners and jurists.
On October 15 and 16, 2020, the UCLA School of Law International and Comparative Law Program and the Transnational Program on Criminal Justice will co-sponsor the 2020 Annual Meeting of the the American Society of Comparative Law. The online meeting is entitled Comparative Legal History.

Resources and Other Programs
-
Foreign Legal Study and Exchange Program
In an increasingly interconnected world, experience and familiarity with international law and other nations’ legal systems and cultures is increasingly indispensable for lawyers, legal scholars, and law students alike. Recognizing this powerful trend, UCLA School of Law offers various opportunities for our students, and for law students in other countries, to gain exposure to international law and the legal systems and cultures of other nations through our Foreign Legal Study and Exchange Program (FLSEP).
-
Interdisciplinary Study Opportunities
UCLA School of Law has long been a leader in the interdisciplinary study of law, and unlike many other schools, UCLA law students can take courses in the professional schools and departments elsewhere on the UCLA campus, offering yet another way for students to connect to the world outside of the law school.
-
Visiting Scholars and Researchers Program
The Visiting Scholars & Researchers Program at UCLA School of Law enables scholars, practitioners and jurists to spend up to a year at UCLA, use the law school facilities, and interact with UCLA Law faculty and students. Participants in the program come from U.S. and overseas universities, foreign governmental entities, and are individual practitioners in foreign countries.
