“Law school taught me to think like a lawyer, but Global Quarter taught me to think like a legal professional. From brilliant scholars and now life-long friends, I learned what it takes to build an international career and tackle international legal and business problems.”

“Global Quarter was easily the most academically rewarding experience of my law school career.”

“The Global Quarter was the capstone of my three years at Stanford Law School. The overseas component was the trip of a lifetime and provided a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse spectrum of scholars and practitioners in Geneva, London, Oxford, Berlin, and Frankfurt. I am grateful to have been a part of the program and it has, without a doubt, prepared me to be a better lawyer, thinker, and citizen.”

“Each general counsel we spoke to during Global Quarter offered a fascinating window into the calculus an attorney makes when unbound from the hierarchies of law firms and how they choose to operate as moral actors where legality is gray and fundamental values clash.”

Franke Fellows spend the first 7 weeks of the spring quarter on the SLS campus taking required courses. Typical subjects taught might include:

• International Business Transactions, Regulation and Litigation
