CHANGES TO THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL AND
COMPARATIVE LAW
Welcome new and returning students! The Office of International
Law and Policy is pleased to announce that starting this
fall there will be a more robust program associated with
the Certificate Program in International and Comparative
Law. There will be a variety of social, cultural and academic
activities designed to enhance your understanding of the
increasingly global legal environment and give you an opportunity
to meet the international legal community in Chicago and
at Chicago-Kent - professors, foreign lawyers who are studying
in our LLM program, and others in the Chicago area who are
involved in international legal issues.
To get advance notice of upcoming events, give us your email
address! Please send an email to Ginette Ballezza (GBalleza@kentlaw.edu)
asking to be put on our mailing list. Students interested
in earning the Certificate in International and Comparative
Law should come to a brief informational meeting to be held
in mid-September - Watch this space and the bulletin boards
around the school for the announcement of this meeting.
Mark your calendar for Monday October 4th 12-2 room 305
when the OILP and GLAPI, the Global Law and Policy Initiative
will host noted Human Rights Activist Hini Jalani from Pakistan,
who will be speaking informally to interested students and
faculty.
In these days of both increasing conflict and unabated
globalization, international legal studies are more important
than ever. Our goal is to help you become more knowledgeable
on these vital issues, and to give you the tools that can
help you succeed as an international practitioner. So from
socializing and networking with foreign attorneys at film
screenings, cocktail parties and other social events, to
gaining in-depth knowledge about cutting edge legal issues
such as the challenges associated with combating human trafficking
(which will be the subject of an all day symposium at Chicago-Kent
on October 14th), the Office of International Law and Policy
is here to help you achieve your goals.
