Most Entertaining Law Professor

So it turns out that I have been voted “Most Entertaining Law Professor of the Year” by the Santa Clara law students (with the award delivered by the Student Bar Association Presidents and duly inscribed on a vinyl record).  It made my day!  However, I also have to confess that I am a little bewildered — my family usually accuses me of being too serious and “a stick in the mud.”  But it still made my day (and probably my month).  (I think my property law students were happy for me, too!  So kind of them.)

Santa Clara Law and ITESO Announce New Exchange Program

FrArriaga&DeanHanFeb2020mediumStarting next semester, Santa Clara Law students can expect to see an even more globally diverse campus as the Law School and the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (“ITESO”) have signed a new exchange agreement that will open up exciting opportunities for law students and faculty of both institutions.

ITESO is a Jesuit university founded in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1957. Like Santa Clara Law, ITESO is known for its academic excellence, a deep concern for both local and global contexts, and its commitment to social justice. Santa Clara’s Center for Global Law & Policy trains students to meet the challenges of globalization for the practice of law and supports cutting-edge faculty research in international and comparative law to advance justice and the common good.

Santa Clara Law’s International Law Program rated “A+”

Pre-Law Magazine once again gave Santa Clara Law’s International Law program an “A+.”  Regarding our International Law program, the magazine stated, “Santa Clara University School of Law in California, another A+ school in this specialty, is home to the Center for Global Law and Policy, which offers the largest and one of the oldest summer aboard programs in the nation. It offers nine summer class programs as well as more than 30 externship options, including working in large international law firms, local firms, nongovernmental organizations, courts, international organizations and the UN.”
