The Summer Program in Spain runs every summer for four
weeks from late May through middle of June and is based
in Málaga, Spain, a beautiful and historic beach-lined
city of 600,000 on the country’s famous Costa del Sol.
The program is designed to provide students with an
opportunity to study comparative law in a Spanish
speaking environment.
CLASS:
All students earn four credits for CADR 620/405: Special
Topics – Comparative Law and Dispute Resolution. By the end of the course students will have developed an
understanding of comparative law and dispute resolution
in the European context. Students will compare European
and US law and dispute resolution protocols for a host
of disputes including but not limited to bias, human
rights cases, civil rights cases, workplace conflicts,
discrimination complaints, EEOC, Title VII, and related
law. Students will examine both the traditional legal
models for resolution of such disputes and alternatives
such as mediation and arbitration. Students will gain a
comprehensive understanding of the differences between
current mediation and arbitration practices in Spain and
how they differ from practices in the US. Students will
understand the methodologies of comparative law and
dispute resolution, with an emphasis on differences
between Spain and the United States.
Class format will include webct online learning
one week before and one week after travel abroad, and
classroom instruction while in Spain. There is no
pre-requisite for this course.

initial non-refundable deposit is due to the Cashier’s
Office. The student will be automatically enrolled into
the study abroad course. The University Billing Office
will then bill each registered student for the total
cost of the study abroad program (less the deposit
