Lyon, July 18, 2018. Visiting with our Lyon Summer Program, Dean Tom Galligan met with the Lyon Dean Hervé de Gaudemar to sign the renewal of the Accord with University Jean Moulin, which has been in place since 2003. This marks fifteen years of unparalleled cooperation, which allowed over the years hundreds of LSU students to participate in the Lyon Summer Program. The number of LSU students visiting for a longer period (semester abroad) keeps growing, some coming back to earn the Lyon LL.M. in European and International Business Law (in English). Meantime, a number of LSU faculty, U.S. Judges and top practitioners have taught in Lyon, and LSU has welcomed almost every year Lyon students as exchange students or in our LL.M. in Comparative Law.
Meantime, under the leadership of Prof. Phil Hackney and with the help, inter alia, of Anne-Sophie Berthier and Roy Carpenter, over 40 LSU students enjoy the Lyon program and witnessed the success of the French national soccer team as it earned its second World Cup in history: see short video and visit the Facebook page of the program.

A visit of a winery and wine tasting are of course a must in the program, whether or not Prof. John Church teaches his Law and Wine course. Law and Art is taught this year by Prof. Phil Hackey, program director.
