Summer Program in Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus)

Loyola Law School is proud to offer again the summer program in the Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus) for Summer 2012!

The divided island of Cyprus provides a perfect context to study the role international law and its institutions play in the settlement of international disputes.

The 2012 Summer Program in the Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus) will be held from July 16 to August 03, 2012.

Students will earn a total of four (4) units in International Dispute Settlement and Conflict Resolution. The course will be divided in two parts:

• International Dispute Settlement (adjudicative means)
• International Dispute Settlement (diplomatic means)

Lectures by invited speakers from the two universities, the UN peacekeeping mission in Cyprus or the US Embassy will complement the classes.

It is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and has been a member of the Association of American Law Schools since 1937. The Summer Program in the Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus) has been provisionally approved by the American Bar Association.

Important Notice

While Loyola Law School Los Angeles is partnering with academic institutions both in the Republic of Cyprus and the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus," the agreements Loyola Law School has entered into with each of the two institutions are separate and unrelated. Participation in the program by either institution is limited only to the periods agreed upon by each with Loyola Law School, and each collaborates solely and specifically with Loyola Law School. Nothing in this program should be construed as a recognition, implicit or explicit, of, or cooperation, directly or indirectly, between, the two hosting institutions.

The Government of the Republic of Cyprus, through its ambassador to the United States, sent us a letter expressing concern about the impact of our program on the “Cyprus question” and our presence in the so called "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.". We urge all perspective applicants to read it and consider it carefully.

This is our reply to the Ambassador’s letter
