Practitioners often assume that
lawyers from across a border or an ocean will naturally understand what they
mean, as though law exists as a universal construct and terms can be directly
translated. This program examines the way that law is taught in different
countries and how that both affects and reflects the way that law is practiced
in them. The first half of the program will be a panel presentation by deans
and professors from both civil law and common law systems. The second half will
be a presentation drawn from a call for papers. There will be time for open
discussions at the end so that we can all share our ideas and ideals for pedagogy.
By learning how others learn, we may expand our own understanding of our
international students, colleagues, and the global profession.
