CULTURAL AmBIANCE Florence, the center of the Italian Renaissance, is a showcase for the work of

the Medicis, Machiavelli, Dante, Boccaccio, Fra Angelico, Donatello, Giotto,

Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Cellini, creative geniuses in painting, sculpture, ar-

chitecture, and literature during the Renaissance period. Students are encour-

aged to experience the creations of these artisans and to explore the many other

cultural amenities throughout Florence and its surrounding areas.

Thanks to Penn State Law’s extensive network of contacts in Italy, students

on this program will be able to enjoy many unique cultural experiences during

their trip. Instead of having a normal tour guide through museums, you will be

guided through some of the most treasured works of art by experts in the field.

Rooftop potluck dinners and bike tours through the vineyards of Tuscany will

provide you with unique settings in which to get to know fellow students and pro-

fessors.

In addition to recognizing the importance of planned cultural activities dur-

ing the program, course administrators also appreciate students’ desires to have

time to explore on their own. Past program participants have spent long week-

ends enjoying the beach on the Amalfi Coast or swimming in the Blue Grotto off

the Isle of Capri. The list of optional weekend trips is limitless.

These programs are approved by the American Bar Association, and all

courses are fully accredited and equivalent for credit purposes to courses of-

fered at Penn State Law. Your law school must be consulted concerning ac-

ceptance of credits or grades, its residency requirements, and the possibility of

accelerated graduation. Upon request, the Registrar’s Office of The Pennsylva-

nia State University will forward a transcript to your law school.

ADmISSIONS

Students who have completed their first year of law school and who are in

good standing at schools accredited by the American Bar Association or the

Association of American Law Schools, and non-U.S. law students with requi-

site English language skills are eligible to apply for admission to the program.

Non-U.S. students with an LL.B., J.D., or equivalent degree from a foreign

law school may also apply and be considered for admission to the Summer

Abroad Programs. With the approval of Professor Del Duca, prospective LL.M.

students may, upon admission to the Penn State Law LL.M. program, apply

their course work from the program toward a Penn State Law LL.M. degree.

All courses offered are fully accredited and equivalent for credit purposes to

those courses offered at Penn State Law.

A non-refundable registration fee of $300, payable with submission of the

application form, is required. Because only a limited number of students may

enroll, we strongly recommend an early enrollment in the program. Although

we prefer that applications be received no later than March 14, 2011, students

may be admitted to the program after this date based on available space.

ESTImATED ExPENSES

Tuition and Student Loans

Tuition is $4,200 for 6 credits or $3,200 for 5 credits ($700 per credit).

All participants must also remit an activities fee of $300. Students may apply

for loans to cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. Lending arrange-

ments must be made by the borrower through the school at which the student

is enrolled.

Housing and Transportation

As a service to students, details for procuring housing may be obtained

from Penn State Law. Each registrant contracts directly with the hotels. It ac-

cepts no legal responsibility for the housing contracts between students and

the hotels. The hotels may require non-refundable advance payment to con-

firm reservations.

Upon request, the Law School will provide information regarding various

transportation options. In providing such information, the Law School accepts

no legal responsibility for these travel arrangements. Registrants must arrange

and pay for their own inner city transportation in the various locations in

which the program is conducted. Information regarding inner city transporta-

tion will be provided on-site in Europe.

florence: Housing at the Residence Palazzo Ricasoli is within walking distance

of the historic center of Florence and within easy access by public transporta-

tion to the University of Florence School of Law. Most students and faculty re-

side at the centralized location, which has been converted in part into one, two,

three, or four person, modern efficiency, air conditioned apartments.

Because of fluctuating exchange rates and prices, it is not possible to

quote exact costs. The average cost for students in 2010 was approximately

$340 per week per person in a double occupancy unit. Food costs are esti-

mated to be about $700 for the one-month period. An air-conditioned bus is

provided for students and faculty for transportation between Florence to Rome

and return and Florence to Siena and return.

Capitals: Housing in single, double, or triple occupancy rooms, each with pri-

vate bath, 24-hour reception desk, and lounge areas, is available in the vicinity

of the classrooms near the historic centers of The Hague, Brussels, Luxem-
