A group of would-be lawyers from The Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University are going where no American law students have gone before, at least in any official capacity: Cuba.

Thirty Hofstra students will make the trek on March 31 from New York to Havana, where they will spend their spring break studying U.S. export laws and controls. Hofstra is the first law school to apply for accreditation from the American Bar Association for a study abroad program in Cuba.
