Seoul National University GSPA Summer Program at UCI Law
July 6 - 16, 2026
UC Irvine School of Law
For the fourth year, UC Irvine Law is once again honored to host an esteemed group of scholars from Seoul National University's Graduate School of Public Administration.
Each year, this distinguished program welcomes thirty scholars from Seoul National University's Graduate School of Public Administration to engage in a series of lectures led by UC Irvine faculty and other leading scholars. This year’s lectures will explore a diverse array of topics, including conflicts of law, immigration, artificial intelligence and social media, and corporate social responsibility, among others.
In addition to academic enrichment, the scholars will take part in educational and cultural excursions, visiting local courts, museums, and experiencing the natural beauty of Southern California’s unique landscapes.
This program continues to strengthen the partnership between our two institutions and seeks to build lasting connections with individual scholars from Korea. Through shared experiences and the exchange of ideas, we hope to foster enduring academic and cultural ties that extend beyond the duration of the program!
