Registration: 8:30 a.m.
Symposium: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

As legal issues increasingly transcend borders, and the needs of clients and the profession expand, this Symposium brings together leading scholars to discuss several of the global community's most pressing legal topics. This Symposium will highlight the unique challenges developed and developing nations must face in promoting intellectual property rights, developing economic reforms, protecting the environment, and building constitutions.

The Symposium will feature panels on four different areas of law, each studying a different facet of the dynamic between, and distinct challenges faced by, developing and developed countries. Panelists will discuss traditional knowledge as a form of intellectual property, economic reform and the Cape Town Convention, climate change litigation and water regulation, and comparative constitution building.

The Keynote Speaker will be Edith Brown Weiss, Francis Cabell Brown Professor of International Law at Georgetown University Law Center. Professor Brown Weiss is an elected member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the American Law Institute, and the Commission on Environmental Law of the IUCN. In 2002, she was appointed to the Inspection Panel of the World Bank.
