All U.S. law students studying abroad are required by the ABA to develop a written plan to
define their educational objectives when studying abroad.
In your own words in the space provided below please describe why you wish to study abroad and
why you believe this will benefit your legal education. What led you to choose this particular
program or institution? What specific goals do you wish to meet and how have you reflected this in
your proposed courses? Additionally, how will you measure your attainment of these goals?
I certify that all courses listed above which are successfully completed with minimum grades of
“C” (or the functional equivalent) and above will count toward the student’s JD degree from the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law.
