For the past three summers, the College of Law has held its week-long Comparative Trial Advocacy course in London, UK. The course features site visits to courts in London, followed by an afternoon lecture and discussion with expert guest speakers. This year, students visited four different courts and heard from three different speakers. The speakers presented a comparative analysis of the UK and U.S. court systems, specifically focusing on civil litigation, criminal trials, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. Comparative Trial Advocacy was developed by Professor Todd Berger, Director of Syracuse Law’s Advocacy Program, who also teaches the course. The course is also expertly supported by Andrew Horsfall, the law school’s Study Abroad Specialist.
