Program in Chile

Yale Law School's institutional partners in Chile are the Universidad de Chile and Universidad Diego Portales in Santiago, which collaborate to program meetings and activities that align with the participants' interests and the schools' strengths.

The Owen Fiss Latin American Linkage program began in Chile, where Yale law students began spending summers working on individual and group projects. Students enrolled in the Law School are eligible to participate. The program requires proficiency in Spanish, active involvement in the Yale leg of the exchange when students from our partner schools visit for three weeks at the beginning of the spring semester, and some background reading prior to the trip to become familiar with Chile's political and legal traditions and political history. Travel and living expenses are covered by the Yale Law School. Students live with local families or university students and often combine the exchange with internships in the region.
