Rule of Law Lecture Series
As governments evolve and regional collaborations develop, legal systems evolve and develop as well. The concept of "rule of law" generally refers to legal a system's accessibility and accountability. CILE's contribution to rule of law programs assures that law faculties and lawyers who work in evolving legal systems learn about creating and functioning within accessible and accountable legal systems.
We exchange law students and faculty with counterparts from countries whose legal systems are changing. We place our law students in internships at rule of law projects around the world. And we proudly present this lecture series to engage thoughts and comments within our own law school. Please join us for the following presentations:
