While many of their classmates will work at firms in the state this summer, a handful of Texas law school students will continue their legal education on foreign soil. Karin Cagle, a 2L at Fort Worth’s Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, will study comparative law and immigration in Cuernavaca, Mexico, while classmate Alexa K. Ewen takes classes in Rome on international human rights and comparative family law. Another Texas Wesleyan student, Margarita Granado, will polish her Spanish and her knowledge of international law in Costa Rica. Meaghan Connors, a student at Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas, will study and work in Paris, followed by a stint in Berlin for training in mediation.

These four are among the students who opt for a summer experience outside a firm as a way to expand their legal education and explore possible alternative legal careers.
