centers AnD institutes Learning and research are enriched by many centers, institutes, and academic programs. They range from a focus on geographic regions such as Asia and Latin America to specific legal areas such as human rights, global health, and international economic law. Outstanding scholars and students make these entities vibrant parts of life at Georgetown. laW asia Law Asia coordinates Georgetown University’s projects and programs relating to law and public policy in Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and greater China (the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of China on Taiwan, and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao). Law Asia’s mission is to encourage scholarly communication between the faculty and students of Georgetown and their counterparts in East Asia; to focus the academic strengths of the Georgetown law and foreign policy faculty on legal issues arising out of Asia’s growing economic power; to ensure that Georgetown’s graduates are equipped to practice competently and ethically in a global context shared with the nations of East Asia; and to make its expertise in law, legal pedagogy, and foreign policy available to coming generations of U.S. and Asian lawyers and policy makers. Courses at the Law Center relating to Asia in recent years have included Korean Law and Comparative Intellectual Property; Chinese Law Seminar; Japan/U.S. Comparative Legal Study; Japanese Civil Procedure; U.S. – Japan Trade Issues; Doing Business with China; East-West Negotiations; and Changing Patterns of International Relations in Asia. Law Asia also spearheads a variety of special projects. One important aspect of these special projects is to offer Georgetown’s expertise to East Asian lawyers and policy makers. At the same time, they also focus on offering students courses on Asian models of legal and economic development taught not only by Georgetown faculty but also by faculty from counterpart universities and research centers in Asia. cenTer for The aDvancemenT of The rule of laW in The americas (carola) The Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas (CAROLA) has as its mission the promotion of the study of Latin American law and legal institutions, both generally and within the context of the movement to promote the rule of law in the region. CAROLA builds on the Law Center’s international expertise by fostering discussions of rule of law and judicial reform by experts in both the academic and practical arenas. It works with faculty and J.D. students to enhance an awareness and understanding of Latin American legal issues, and to encourage teaching, studying, working, and researching in the region.
