A MessAge froM the DeAn Dean William m. Treanor The array of course and seminar offerings at the Law Center dealing with transnational, international, and comparative law is the most comprehensive in the nation. They are taught by a distinguished full time faculty at Georgetown that is joined by visiting scholars from around the world and by a wide array of Washington D.C. practitioners from the public and private sectors. The Law Center hosts institutes dedicated to international economic law, Asian law, Latin American law, human rights, global health law, transnational law and global business law, and national security law. Through activities such as faculty research, courses, programs, and publications, all contribute to the transnational identity of Georgetown. Georgetown offers extensive opportunities for students in clinics, on law journals, and through internships and study abroad programs that focus on international, comparative, and transnational law and policy. Law Center classes and activities are enhanced by students who come here from approximately 60 countries and from every corner of the globe. Georgetown Law is recognized globally as a leader in scholarship, teaching, and educational programming that transcend borders. Our graduates work in 140 countries around the world, and we are committed to preparing today’s students for a legal profession that will only become more transnational in the years and decades to come. Two innovations exemplify Georgetown’s ambitious transnational vision. Our “Week One: Law in a Global Context” program introduces all first-year J.D. students to a transnational legal problem that builds upon the American law they have studied, adding elements of foreign law, a foreign court or international dispute resolution system, and role playing. Our leadership of the London-based Center for Transnational Legal Studies, meanwhile, places Georgetown students alongside counterparts from more than 20 of the world’s premier law schools in a semester-long exploration of transnational legal issues. The setting is uniquely multicultural and transnational, without any “host school,” “domestic jurisdiction,” or “majority nationality.” CTLS, launched in 2008, has now been honored by the Institute of International Education with their prestigious Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in International Education. Located in the heart of the nation’s capital, but engaged globally, Georgetown Law has created an unparalleled environment for transnational education and scholarship. TransnaTional programs 1
