Dublin, Ireland
from $6,999
Overview
Set on Ireland’s east coast, Dublin is a lively capital where historic streets, literary heritage, and a fast-growing legal sector come together. As part of the Lex Fellowship programs in Ireland, pre-law students can immerse themselves in meaningful legal experiences while meeting practicing solicitors and barristers, observe real case discussions, and develop a global understanding of law through structured law-firm engagement.
Outside the office, students can wander the cobblestone lanes of Temple Bar, tour the storied halls of Trinity College, or admire the illuminated Book of Kells. From strolling along the River Liffey and visiting Dublin Castle to discovering traditional pubs, lively music sessions, and world-class museums, Dublin offers the perfect mix of cultural depth and everyday charm. Whether you’re seeking legal insight, cultural immersion, or both, the Lex program in Dublin provides a rewarding pre-law summer experience that’s both inspiring and unforgettable.
