Global Post-graduate Legal Education
International Programs Director Katerina Lewinbuk, South Texas Law board member and attorney Sharon Schweitzer, and several students toured the beautiful UEA campus while making a trip to England from Prague during the Study Abroad program.
Featured in the 2025 “Postcards from Prague” series written by South Texas Law students, the time in England and on campus was described this way:
“The town of Norwich was nothing short of breathtaking, steeped in history, yet warm and inviting. We enjoyed the beauty of the cobbled streets, medieval architecture, and the cozy atmosphere.
At UAE, we were welcomed by faculty and staff, who introduced us to the LL.M. program available to STCL Houston students, including scholarship opportunities and areas of specialization.
We participated in a series of mock classes led by UEA professors, giving us a firsthand glimpse into the engaging and globally relevant curriculum. We also learned about UEA’s moot court team, its innovative intellectual property coursework, and the impactful work being done through its legal clinics. UAE truly felt like a home away from home and left us inspired by the possibility of returning as future LL.M. students.”
