Using A Wiki To Increase Student Engagement In Administrative Law, David I.C. Thomson
Using A Wiki To Increase Student Engagement In Administrative Law, David I.C. Thomson
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Administrative law is one of the courses students love to hate. This is particularly true in schools where Admin is a required course, since many students in the class would not take it otherwise, and gripe about being forced to.

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Aid for trade has tremendous potential. It is an area that merits all the attention it has recently receiving from the leadership of the WTO. Opportunities abound in the shaping of aid for trade to benefit many constituencies, including the WTO, developing nations, donors, and the aid and trade legal communities.
