Location of Mitchell in London Summer School

Classes are conduced at the Waterloo Campus of BPP Law School.  The campus is located 2 blocks from Waterloo tube stop and two blocks from the Thames River.  There are many restaurants and shops nearby.

Course Format

The London courses are based on real-life practicum situations. There will be two sessions each day. Each session begins with a short lecture/presentation by U.S. or U.K. faculty. The presentations deal with the problems based on the practicums. Following the presentation, participants work in small groups to discuss, analyze and solve the problems. The discussion groups are guided by faculty. Following the intensive group work, the session concludes with a meeting of the entire class where the small groups, with continued faculty guidance, report on the results of the group work.

At the end of each day, the participants prepare a short debriefing paper based on what was learned during the sessions and plan for the next day’s work.

The Papers

There will be no in-class examinations. Students are assessed on the debriefing and planning papers and a final paper for each course. Work is assessed on an A-F basis.

The debriefing/planning  papers are due at the beginning of each daily session.  No written work is due the first day of each course. The final papers are due no later than Friday August 14.  The final papers may not exceed  twenty double-spaced pages with 12 point fonts and one inch margins on all borders. The papers are based on individual and group  work conducted during the sessions and continued research. Faculty will approve the paper topics by the conclusion of the courses. Participants may seek faculty guidance as they prepare the final papers.
