School of Law Participates in Rule of Law DVC with Nigeria
February 13, 2009
On Wednesday, Feb. 11, School of Law Professors Uche Ewelukwa and Christopher Kelley hosted a 90+ minute digital video conference (DVC) with Edna Udobong, a Fulbright Scholar, and two professors at the University of Lagos Faculty of Law in Lagos, Nigeria. Our host in Nigeria was the United States Embassy, and the DVC received remarkable support from the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C.
This was the second day in a row that the School of Law has held a 90-minute or longer DVC with the cooperation and assistance of the U.S. State Department. On Tuesday, Feb. 10, Professors Brian Gallini, D’lorah Hughes, and Donald Judges held an excellent DVC with law professors and law students who were hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv.
The Rule of Law Colloquium, which was the occasion for Wednesday's DVC on the rule of law in Nigeria, will continue to move around the world. Thus far, arrangements have been or are being made with Freedom House, the Mansfield Foundation, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, and Novgorod State University for more sessions that will bring speakers from other parts of the world to Room 327.
