Webcast available here.

On February 17, 2008 the parliament of Kosovo unilaterally declared the province to be fully autonomous and independent from Serbia. Tibor Várady, former foreign minister of Yugoslavia and now a professor of law at Central European University (Budapest) and Emory; and Allen Buchanan, Professor of Philosophy and Public Policy at Duke, will talk about the background and implications. Lunch served.

The Center for International and Comparative Law was launched in 2006 to coordinate and support the Law School's programs, resources, and events relating to those areas. A reflection of Duke Law's growing strength in the field, CICL deepens the already rich international and comparative law curriculum through initiatives such as the Global Law Workshop, and enhances the intellectual life of the Law School through an ambitious roster of speakers and panel discussions. It works hand in hand with the Office of International Studies, which supports international students and programs at Duke Law School, and with the JD/LLM program, which enables students to acquire both a JD and an LLM in just over three years.
