| Seminal changes occurred in the world, taking what were previously “domestic” legal, social and economic issues into the international arena. As the world as a whole becomes more interconnected, we are undergoing a similar process within our own region: the Americas. The Organization of American States (OAS), an important contributor in this regional transformation, is a particularly fitting location for a dialogue on these issues. This year’s program will build on last year’s, “Addressing the Challenges of an Interconnected World: the Role of Law Schools,” by providing a discussion that relates more specifically to our region. This program will create further opportunities for the exchange of view among law schools in the Americas. The panel will address particular issues faced by law schools in the Western Hemisphere, how we can gain from and facilitate regional academic exchange, and the relationship of the challenges we face in our region to the globalization that is occurring in the world as a whole |
