I am delighted to officially announce Hofstra Law's second new spring break abroad program. The Cuba Field Study: Export Laws and Export Controls will take place from Saturday, March 31 to Saturday, April 7, 2012. The one credit course will be taught by Professor Juli Campagna. On the Cuba Field Study, students will learn about the Export Administration Act, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and the amendments to IEEPA pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Enhancement Act. Students will learn the key licensing provisions and procedures of the Export Administration Regulations. Another topic of the course is the Trading with the Enemy Act. While the course cannot focus on this Act in depth over one week, the professor will look at the restrictions on travel to Cuba that come under it. As many of you know, there are significant restrictions on travel to Cuba. The U.S. government opened Cuba for educational travel last year, making this the first known student law program to enter the country. Students on the program must travel together down and back to Cuba on a U.S. government approved chartered flight. Visit the website to learn more about all the things included in the program fee.
The Cuba Field Study program is open to second, third, and fourth year J.D. students as well as all LL.M. students. No separate tuition will be charged for the program as it's included in the spring semester credit load. A program fee is assessed to cover student's housing, food, flight to/from Havana, and more in Cuba. The application deadline is Friday, January 27, 2012.
An information session is scheduled for Wednesday, January 11 at Noon in room 242. Please plan to attend if you are interested in learning more about both of the spring break opportunities and ask questions of the professors teaching on them. Visit the program webpages for more information. A poster on the Cuba program is attached. Students from all ABA law schools may participate in these programs.
