Oxford Summer Program 
The SMU Dedman School of Law offers, in association with University College, an annual six-week program, at University College. The program includes a one-day tour of “Legal London.” This program is part of SMU’s strong tradition of training lawyers, from the U.S. and abroad, to practice law in a global environment. Over 650 law students have participated in this summer program since its inception. Students earn five hours of credit by taking one course taught by an SMU professor and one Oxford-style tutorial taught by an Oxford tutor. Participants live and take their meals in historic University College, Oxford.The 2010 Oxford program will begin on Tuesday, July 6, and run through Saturday, August 14. As in the past, the number of students enrolled in the program will be kept small. Thirty-six students will be accepted to attend the program. The small class sizes encourage a sense of community and allow active participation of all students. Enrollment has varied in recent years from 32 to 36 students, most but not all of whom have been enrolled at SMU. Last year there were thirty-six students, thirty-four from SMU and two from other universities. [Professor Peter Winship, James Cleo Thompson Sr. Trustee Professor of Law, will be the Director of the program. Professor Winship has taught or directed the program numerous times during its twenty-six year history. He has a well-established reputation in the area of international and domestic commercial law. He received his LL.M. from the University of London (LSE) in 1973.] For more information, contact the Program Director or his faculty assistant.
