<strong>AALS</strong> HALF-DAY SECTIOn PrOgrAMS<br />
9:00 AM - 12:00 PM<br />
[7110] Section on International Legal Exchange<br />
Outcomes, Measures and Assessment in International Legal Exchange<br />
Moderator: Jeffrey Ellis Thomas, university of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law<br />
Forces are converging upon legal education to promote greater consideration and use of<br />
outcomes, measures and assessment. Like many programs in legal education, international<br />
legal exchange programs often have relied on implicit outcomes with limited formal<br />
measures. Assessment of international exchange programs often is not linked to explicit<br />
outcomes but instead follows the traditional ABA model focused on structure and inputs<br />
rather than outcomes.<br />
This half-day program will focus on the state-of-the-art for outcomes, measures and assessment<br />
of international legal exchange programs. By “international legal exchange,” we mean<br />
classroom and out-of-class experiences that involve learning outside of the united States.<br />
Specifically, we include undertakings in which students enrolled in U.S. law schools receive<br />
academic credit for work outside of the united States. Examples of international legal<br />
exchange include short-term and summer programs, semester or year-long study abroad,<br />
dual and joint degree programs, and international externships.<br />
The program will consist of two panels with a primary presenter and several commentators.<br />
The first panel will focus on the creation or implementation of a program and therefore<br />
will address outcomes and measures. The second panel will consider the post-program<br />
assessment.<br />
