Applications to the Comparative and International Law Institute (CILI) are accepted on a rolling basis. If you have a preexisting interest in international and/or comparative law, you may apply to CILI as soon as you are accepted to the Law School. We also welcome you to apply if you develop an interest after taking courses in comparative and international law at the Law School or on one or both of the summer programs in Rome and Kraków. The advantages of applying to CILI as early as possible is that you will receive earlier guidance on law school coursework and externships and you will also receive invitations to CILI events.

CILI certificates will be awarded only to students who have completed the CILI certificate requirements by commencement.

There are no additional fees associated with applying to or participating in the CILI program.

We encourage you to schedule a meeting with the CILI Director Professor Susanna Fischer at fischer@cua.edu if you would like to discuss CILI and its certificate requirements.
