The Cornell-Paris 1 Summer Institute, which is open to both U.S. and international students, provides a unique opportunity for career advancement, personal growth and development, and networking on a global level. The program emphasizes the study of international law and institutions, as well as U.S. and other legal systems in a comparative context.

Students attend classes in the Sorbonne’s Pantheon and Lourcine Centres at the heart of the Paris 1 University near the beautiful Jardin du Luxembourg, in the vibrant “Quartier Latin,” the Paris home of university students for almost a thousand years.

The program sponsors private guided tours to the Palais de Justice (the site of France’s highest court in the ordinary court system), the Conseil d’État (the “supreme court” in the French administrative court system), and The Cour des Comptes is France's supreme audit institution, under French law an administrative court.
