Center for Transnational Legal Studies

The Center for Transnational Legal Studies (CTLS) is a global educational center for the study of transnational law. The Center was founded in London in October 2008 as an initiative by Georgetown University Law Center, providing educational services and student resources. It was constituted as a joint venture between several leading law schools from around the world, each contributing faculty and students to the center. The Center's founding partner institutions are Georgetown University Law Center, City University of Hong Kong, King's College London, the University of Melbourne, National University of Singapore, ESADE, Fribourg University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of Torino, and the University of Toronto. The Center also has several affiliate institutions, including Bucerius Law School.

The CTLS facilities are located in London at Bush House, North West Wing, Aldwych, on King's College London's Strand Campus. Students and faculty have access to King's College Law Library amongst other King's College London facilities.

The Center's curriculum was developed by an Academic Council of faculty from all of the founding law schools and all courses address topics in transnational or comparative law, legal theory or legal practice. designed for students intent on transnational careers.

Academics from the CTLS have also offered public lectures on international legal topics, and in addition to the Center's main academic term program, offers administrative support for the Georgetown Law summer program in London.
