为了进一步开拓法律思维，拓展涉外法律知识，提升法律英语专业水平，加深对刑法学认识，2021年7月，我院法学+英语双学位班的同学在学校的支持下，进行了比较刑法课程的学习。
来自美国路易斯安那州立大学的兰开斯特教授有丰富的刑法经验，他曾经担任刑事辩护律师，并曾于耶鲁大学、印第安纳大学、格勒诺布尔-阿尔卑斯大学任教。他为同学们主讲《比较刑法》全英文课程，向大家介绍了不同法系的刑罚制度，对法律传统、警务作用、裁决和争端解决制度、惩罚理论、少年制度、死刑和纠正管理进行比较。
兰开斯特教授授课方式多样，他鼓励学生们用英语表达自己的想法，并邀请了自己的美国学生与法英班的同学共同探讨中美法学院的不同。在学习过程中，同学们逐渐适应全英文教学模式，积极思考、踊跃发表自己的见解，与教授交流互动，对刑法学的了解进一步加深。暑期学校课程的开展，符合学院对法英班培养计划中“涉外法律人才培养”的宗旨，开拓了法英班同学国际化视野、为同学们打下扎实的国际法基础。
