countries (CEECs), accession of CEECs to the European Union, doing business in Central and Eastern Europe, real estate acquisition and ownership in CEECs, and human rights issues from CEECs before the European Court in Strasbourg. All faculty and students were accommodated in a hotel on the beach just outside of Dubrovnik, one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic. The group was visited by the President of IU, Dr. Adam Herbert, and by an ABA inspector, Professor Lizabeth Moody. In her report to the ABA, Professor Moody called the program a “jewel” among summer study abroad programs.
Professor Emmert also taught in a summer study abroad program organized by Stetson University College of Law in Tallinn (Estonia). On the domestic front, Professor Emmert finished several publication projects over the summer. Together with Professor Toni Fine, the director of graduate and international programs at the Benjamin N.
Cardozo School of Law, he wrote a 55-page paper,
“Introduction to the American Legal System” for a German- English, English-German legal dictionary forthcoming from Langenscheidt, the largest German publisher of reference works. He also acted as overall scientific advisor for this project.
As part of a research contract with the Centre for Economic Policy Research in London, which was financed by the EU, Professor Emmert co-authored a 78-page report analyzing “Statements Made in Favour of and Against the Adoption of Competition Law in Developing and Transition Economies.”
Professor Emmert finished the second edition of his collection, EU Law - Documents, which is currently in print.
An updated edition of the EU Law - Casesshould be ready in spring 2006 and both the English and the updated German version of the textbook on EU Law have been making good progress as well.
Finally, Professor Emmert found a new commercial publisher for the EUROPEANJOURNAL OFLAWREFORM. Eleven International Publishing in the Netherlands will assume all rights and obligations related to the production and distri- bution of the EJLR, while Professor Emmert will continue as editor-in-chief. Therefore, at least for the foreseeable future, the journal will continue to call our law school “home.”

Latin American Law Summer Program’s Second Year a Success
By Maria Pabon Lopez, Assistant Professor of Law and Co-Director, Latin American Law Summer Program The Latin American Law Summer Program took place
during the months of May and June in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. The program is part of an Educational Partnership with the Universidad Nacional de La Plata in La Plata, Argentina, funded by the Fulbright program.
Latin American Law Program Executive Director and Hall Render Professor Eleanor D. Kinney and Adjunct Professor Alejandro M. Garro, a faculty member at Columbia University School of Law, led the six-week program in which law students from our law school and four other U.S. law schools studied Latin
American Legal Systems and the Law of the Economic Communities of the Americas.
Program participants visited many Latin American legal institutions, including the Supreme Court of Argentina, trial courts in Buenos Aires and La Plata, the office of the federal public defender in La Plata, and the Bar Association of La Plata. Professor María Pabón López, Co-Director of the Latin American Law Program, joined the group for part of the program in La Plata.
One of the highlights of the summer (which is actually winter in South America) was a Fulbright-funded three-day international conference in which scholars from Latin America and the United States, including Professors Kinney and Lopez, discussed
economic integration and aspects of teaching civil and common law in the Americas. Also, the group visited the United States Embassy in Buenos Aires, the headquarters of MERCOSUR in Montevideo, Uruguay, as well as the University of Montevideo and the Fundación GetulioVargas and the Latin American Parliament in Sao Paolo, Brazil. CLE credit is available for this program. Interested alumni may contact Professors Kinney, Lopez or faculty assistant Margie Welsh for more information regarding summer 2006.
