VIU is an international institute of higher learning and research, offering opportunities for advanced training and research in an international context. In cooperation with VIU, Widener Law offers the opportunity to take courses in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.comune.venezia.it\/flex\/cm\/pages\/ServeBLOB.php\/L\/EN\/IDPagina\/1\">beautiful Venice<\/a>, Italy, and to enjoy tours of Venetian legal and cultural institutions. All classes and administrative offices are located on the VIU campus.<\/p>\r\n<h5>Art, Culture, and History<\/h5>\r\n<p>Famous for its canals, which run through the city, as well as its long and colorful history, Venice is sometimes referred to as the City of Bridges or City of Water. If you&rsquo;re interested in art or cultural history, then Venice is filled with attractions&nbsp;that should satisfy your interests. Enjoy the city&rsquo;s rich cultural heritage while visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.basilicasanmarco.it\/WAI\/eng\/index.bsm\">St. Mark&rsquo;s Basilica<\/a> or the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gallerieaccademia.org\/\">Accademia museum gallery<\/a> of pre-19th century art. Several long weekends provide ample opportunity to travel and since Venice is well-situated in the center of Europe, you can easily visit many other European cities.<\/p>\r\n<h5>Coursework<\/h5>\r\n<p>A sampling of <a href=\"ipl:\/\/308\/\/W10=\">courses<\/a>&nbsp;offered this summer are European Union Law, Comparative Corporate Law, and Tort Law in Global Perspective. Once again, Randy J. Holland, <em>justice of the Delaware Supreme Court,<\/em> will teach Comparative Corporate Law. The Delaware Supreme Court is the leading corporate law court in the United States. This is a fabulous opportunity for those interested in corporate law.<\/p>\r\n<h5>Other Information and Frequently Asked Questions<\/h5>\r\n<p>Explore our web pages on <a href=\"ipl:\/\/308\/\/W10=\">housing<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"ipl:\/\/308\/\/W10=\">course materials<\/a>.&nbsp;If you have a specific question, try FAQ.
