JSW-NLS-NUS Summer School Program from June 17 – June 30, 2024 | Applications Open!
March 27, 2024
In April 2023, NLSIU had announced a collaboration with the JSW Law School of Bhutan to launch their inaugural summer school program last year. This program was launched in partnership with the Faculty of Law at the National University of Singapore.
The JSW School of Law is currently inviting applications for the Second Undergraduate Summer School Program for June 2024! The program will take place at JSW’s new green campus just outside of Paro, Bhutan. The courses will be taught intensively over a two-week period from June 17 – June 30, 2024. Students accepted to the program will have a choice of two out of three courses taught by legal academics from leading law schools in Asia.
►Comparative Corporate Governance
Professor Umakanth Varottil, National University of Singapore
►Comparative Criminal Law
Professor Mrinal Satish, National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, India
►Legal Argument and Narrative
Professor Helena Whalen-Bridge, National University of Singapore
About the program
The program will admit a maximum of 30 students. Students must enrol in two of the three courses offered. The timetable is designed so that students enrolling in two courses will spend around 5 hours in class per teaching day with ample breaks in between. Students have a field trip on Fridays and a free day on Saturday. Each course is taught using the seminar method, in classes of 2 to 3 hours’ duration and totaling 23 class contact hours. They are assessed by continuous modes such as reading reflection papers, student presentations of readings, class participation, and a final take-home exam to be completed a few weeks after the summer school has ended.
Upon satisfactory completion, students will be awarded a certificate detailing the courses they have taken and the grades received. The certificate will be signed by representatives of the JSW School of Law, the National Law School of India and the National University of Singapore.
