The Center for International Legal Education at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law is pleased to announce its 30th Annual McLean Lecture on World Law, this year delivered by Ambassador (ret.) Norm Eisen of the The Brookings Institution. The event will be held on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, from 5-7 p.m. in the Teplitz Memorial Moot Courtroom and via Zoom. This year’s topic will be particularly relevant to our 2023 class of LLM students, focusing on Ukraine Reconstruction and the Rule of Law.
Ambassador Eisen is a senior fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution and a CNN Legal Analyst. At Brookings, he chairs the institution’s signature anti-corruption program, Leveraging Transparency to Reduce Corruption, and is the founder and lead editor of the Brookings Russia Sanctions Tracker. He represents Brookings as the civil society co-chair of the Financial Transparency and Integrity cohort for the Biden administration’s second Summit for Democracy and co-chairs the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group. Eisen is the co-author of the Democracy Playbook, which situates anti-corruption in the broader pro-democracy framework.
Our very special class of Rule of Law Scholars from Ukraine and Afghanistan has been made possible through the generosity of our friends at PNC, Duquesne Light Company, MSA - The Safety Company, Matthews International, CNX, Leech Tishman, Cozen O'Connor, K&L Gates, Babst Calland and Jones Day. A reception honoring their generosity toward these remarkable students and Pitt Law will follow the event.
