Summer Law Institute

The Texas Tech University School of Law is proud to be a partner in a consortium of three law schools that has developed the Summer Law Institute, a cooperative teaching program with the University of Guanajuato. The University of Guanajuato law school is one of Mexico's leading law centers and is located in the silver-mining highlands of central Mexico. The Institute offers a thorough introduction to Mexican Law and International Law subjects related to the United States and Latin America.

As trade relations with Mexico and the rest of Latin America continue to expand, Texas Tech wants to ensure that our students have an opportunity to prepare for international legal opportunities that will continue to multiply. The Summer Law Institute helps us achieve that objective by giving students the option to work, learn and study in Mexico under the direction of professors not only from Texas Tech, but other professors, practitioners and jurists invited from around the United States and Mexico.

The Summer Law Institute accepts applications from students attending other universities. It is open to all law students, graduate students and professionals interested in learning the legal systems and culture of Mexico. The Institute has been approved by the Accreditation Committee of the ABA Section on Legal Education. Students are also allowed to register for any Law School Summer Program offered by any ABA- approved law school in the country. The ABA provides a list of approved international summer programs.
