\u201cTraveling to Cuba for five days was an amazing culmination to our eight weeks of classroom learning regarding Cuban law, culture, and society,” said Professor Palmer. “Speaking directly with Cuban lawyers about their civil, family and criminal law practices and immersing ourselves in the culture and history of Cuba sharply focused for the entire Stetson group the similarities and differences in our legal systems and cultural identities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0course\u00a0introduced Stetson law students to the\u00a0history of\u00a0the Cuban legal system and society\u00a0as well as\u00a0the current legal system in Cuba. Students learned about\u00a0Cuban laws, US-Cuba policy, Cuban society and current legal issues related to Cuba.<\/p>\n

“The study abroad program eliminated the distance created by the U.S. Embargo on Cuba and allowed me to see the lives, culture, and viewpoints of the Cuban people up\u00a0close,”\u00a0said third-year Stetson Law student Francisco\u00a0Lopez, who traveled to Cuba as part of Professor Palmer’s class.<\/p>\n
