Cover // KU Law's global impact

A long tradition of international law at the University of Kansas School of Law stretches back nearly 140 years, with courses and scholarship in the area starting shortly after the school opened its doors. Today, Jayhawk lawyers can be found working on six continents and in over 30 foreign countries. Both students and faculty take on work with global reach.

While some students expand the scope of their legal education by taking an international law course or two, others gain deeper expertise through the law school’s International Trade & Finance Certificate Program. KU Law students also study abroad and travel to international moot court competitions.

Faculty present research at international conferences at leading universities worldwide, and are frequent contributors to public dialogue through media appearances and outreach events. Speakers from around the world also bring a global perspective to Green Hall through events, such as the Diplomat’s Forum and the Robert C. Casad Comparative Law Lecture.

In this issue we highlight KU Law’s global impact through the work of alumni, faculty and students. You’ll meet Jayhawk lawyers working in international trade law, maritime law and international energy, and KU Law alumni in academia. You’ll read about faculty research and service that span the globe. And you’ll find updates from the international and comparative law program that highlight the reach of KU Law’s global-minded curriculum.

Plus Class Notes and the Volunteer Honor Roll.
