Icelandic Legal Exchange Program a 50-year partnership

From ONU law Facebook - A group of Ohio Northern Univerity law students traveled to Iceland during spring break as part of our Icelandic Legal Exchange Program, a partnership that has been in place for more than 50 years.

This year the students met with Steindor Jensen, LLM ‘13, who is now the secretary of the Icelandic parliamentary committee concerning finance.

Since graduating from the LLM program and returning to Iceland, Jensen has met with ONU visitors many times.

The annual trip provides ONU Law students an introduction to not only the Icelandic legal system, but also the rich Icelandic culture.
