The International Law Section of The State Bar of Texas and The University of Texas at Austin School of Law Continuing Legal Education invites you to join us on a legal and cultural journey to the Netherlands. Members, family, friends, and colleagues are welcome.
Join us for 4 nights or all 6 nights where we make our home base The Hague (Den Haag) - the political heart of the Netherlands and an international center of peace, justice, hosting institutions such as the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the Permanent Court of Arbitration. Besides affording insightful legal education and opportunities to visit and engage with international legal institutions and experts, The Hague offers a historic city center with charming boutiques, galleries and fine dining.
The Hague is also ideally situated within reach of some of The Netherlands' greatest cultural attractions. Select the 4-night core package with a program based around The Hague and a visit to the Keukenhof, or the 6-night package to include day trips to Amsterdam, the 17th century capital of The Netherlands known for its museums, beautiful architecture and canals; as well as a visit to the iconic windmills of Kinderdijk and the modern city of Rotterdam.
