> I am once again offering a 3-credit summer course on the International Law of Food in Parma, Italy.  Law students (both J.D. and LL.M. candidates) from any other law school are welcome in the course.  I would appreciate any efforts you can make to identify this opportunity to your students.
> 
> This is one of the few, if not the only, course on this area of rapidly emerging importance to the study of food law.  The timing of this 4-week course, May 29-June 26, has been specifically arranged so as to leave law students the bulk of the summer for employment and other activities.
> 
> Taught by Boston College Law Professor David Wirth, who has extensive academic and practical experience in the field, the course is offered in the city considered the food capital of Italy, Europe, and the world.  The course is also of general interest, covering the fundamentals of international and regulatory law both in the United States and abroad.

Interested students  need not write the essay on the application, although they should identify themselves as a law student and the name of their home institution in that space in the application so that it can be considered complete.
