(11/12/2008) -- The Minnesota Journal of International Law will host its 2008 symposium, ?Creating a Global Rule of Law Culture,? 8 a.m. - 6 p.m., Friday, Nov. 14, in Room. 25 of the Law School, 229 19th Ave. S., Minneapolis.

The symposium will examine the rule of law as a framework for international legal reform and development, focusing on creation of a global rule of law culture. Panelists will include eminent scholars, practitioners and judges who have studied the rule of law and led reform efforts around the world. Featured will be founders of the American Bar Association?s Central European and Eurasian Law Initiative (CEELI) and Center for Rule of Law Initiatives.

CEELI was founded in 1990 after the fall of the Berlin Wall to help develop the rule of law in countries under the former Soviet Union?s control. With CEELI?s enormous growth, the Center for Rule of Law Initiatives was created and includes legal reform programs in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. The symposium offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the rule of law as a framework for reform and development going forward.

There is no cost for attending the symposium. Information on the day?s agenda and the registration form are available at http://www.law.umn.edu/mjil/2008-symposium.html
