Róisín McGrath, a student on the law (BCL) and human rights course, was selected to attend the event at King’s College London on behalf of the University of Galway, which is a member of LSGL.

The LSGL brings together 32 law schools in 24 countries across five continents, and its annual summer school offers students a cutting-edge learning experience in exploring the challenges of the legal profession in an increasingly globalised world. The courses are co-taught by professors from member institutions.

Commenting on the experience, Ms McGrath said: “I had the opportunity to attend the wonderful LSGL summer school in London this summer. The quality of teaching was second to none and I feel extremely grateful to have learnt so much from both the lecturers and the other students, as well as having made friends for life.

“Having made connections and learned about the legal education systems and professions in jurisdictions all over the world, I feel very lucky to call myself Irish and to attend University of Galway.

“Staying in the centre of London and getting to attend class in the beautiful Dickson Poon School of Law was truly an amazing experience and all the staff in King’s College London, particularly Caitlin who herself did a semester of study abroad in the University of Galway (UCG at the time), could not have been more helpful and hospitable.

“Thank you to University of Galway School of Law for promoting and sponsoring this opportunity, I have no doubt that it will greatly benefit my legal studies next year and well into the future and hopefully I will be able to share the wonderful insights that I got from the experience with my classmates in University of Galway.”
