The extreme pressure placed on law schools by declining enrollment and the current general economic malaise presents severe challenges to law schools. This program explores opportunities and practices developed by law schools to more efficiently utilize their existing resources and also to attract additional resources designed to support programmatic globalization developments. Presenters in the opening panel are from law schools that have offered programs maximizing utilization of their existing resources to provide enriched educational programs for their students. The programs selected are capable of replication by other law schools. Our program will also include representatives of multilateral organizations and foundations who have engaged in educational projects designed to support global legal education and examine strategic academic partnerships in the development and implementation of joint programs. Issues that will be raised include funding opportunities, best practices, the role of faculty and students.
