Join Texas A&M Law and put the strength of the Aggie Network behind you.
Texas A&M Law expands the opportunities for students to study across the globe. Aggie Law students will go outside the classroom, outside the United States, to explore dispute resolution, commercial arbitration, environmental law, and energy law in the field.
Students will explore topics drawing on expert and practice-based resources available only on-site. The start of the course will be at the Law School researching and preparing for the field study during the Spring semester. The field study trip will take place in May. Upon return, students will reflect on skills and substantive legal and policy knowledge gained during the field study trip itself through a field study debrief, reflection exercises and a research project completed in the Fall.

As jurisdictions that operate autonomously from British law, Jersey and Guernsey have operated neither completely inside nor outside of the European Union. As such, they have served as an investment gateway to Europe, but also are a source of regulatory know how on operating in the EU’s shadow—knowledge of particular importance now to a post-Brexit UK. As international financial centers, they play a role in enforcing sanctions, tax obligations, and controls on money laundering and terrorist financing. The Global Lawyering Course will provide students the opportunity to see this environment directly through meetings with government officials, regulators, and practitioners both from the law and financial sectors.

In contrast to the United States, Mexico owns all water and hydrocarbon resources and contracts private parties to exploit them. This creates a substantially different regulatory environment from that governing energy production in the U.S. This Global Lawyering Course will provide students the opportunity to see this environment directly through meetings with government officials from the energy regulatory agencies, judges that have dealt with energy-related disputes with communities and legal practitioners working in the energy sector, and community leaders.
