Those unfamiliar with the show generally wondered whether the law school curriculum was any place for a course with the name of a popular television drama in the title. Those who had heard glowing things about, but had not seen, The Wire typically professed their intention to watch the show but shared the skepticism of the former group on its suitability as the focus of a law school course. Finally, those who had viewed the series …

Rethinking Overseas Legal Experiences from the Top Down and Bottom Up
With the current strains and pressures that law schools are facing today, the new reality is that beloved programs are being cut--from clinics to moot programs to overseas programs.

This panel will address that challenge and the means by which these trends can be complementary rather than competing, through innovative programs where students have transformative experiences in international legal practice.

GW is also fortunate to have a dedicated and talented adjunct faculty, which includes a former senior …
