The Faculty of the Summer School is made up of lecturers from NUI, Galway, UCD, UMKC (University of Missouri Kansas City) and SIU Law School (Southern Illinois University).  The Annual Ireland Summer Law Academy is split between three locations.  The summer school commences in Dingle where the students get their introduction to EU Law, they study in the Corca Dhuibne centre.  From there the school relocates to Galway, for a mix of free days and study in NUI, Galway. The students study EU anti-discrimination law with Shivaun Quinlivan.  The final leg of the journey is the move to Dublin and more specifically UCD.
