Winter Term

Harvard Law School offers a special Winter Term session for three weeks in January.  While all first-year students take Problem-Solving Workshop at HLS, second-and third-year and LL.M. students may select an intensive course on the HLS campus or a class with a clinical component, or conduct supervised research in Cambridge or elsewhere. Many students utilize Winter Term as a time to further explore international aspects of law and may travel abroad to do so. Recent Winter Term projects have enabled students to work for the South African Judicial Inspectorate of Prisons, examine antiquities trafficking in Guatemala, and study security regulations in Korea. Other projects have taken HLS students to China, Guyana, Haiti, India, Kenya, and Switzerland, to name just a few. 

The Winter Term International Travel Grant Program provides funding to students for overseas travel during Winter Term.
