    Having lawyers and law students from other countries can enrich the classroom with actual comparative law experiences and substantive knowledge about other laws and legal systems.  Lawyers and law students from other countries can also help keep schools afloat financially when the number of U.S. students drops.  Unfortunately, some law schools are tempted to recruit non-U.S. students without adequate consideration of what support they will need to succeed academically and when they return home.  This audience-interactive panel will assess the needs of international students and examine how law schools meet, or fail to meet, those needs.
