American Law Institute continues in 2001

The American Law and Legal English Institute (ALLEI) was offered twice in 2001, in January and July. Lawyers, judges and law students from several countries took classes and seminars in American court structure and procedure, contract and commercial law, constitutional law, corporate law, products liability and international law. The classes were taught by attorney Christopher Wolfe, ELI's legal studies coordinator. Additional seminars and professional visits were facilitated by several other attorneys and judges in Delaware. The legal scholars also visited state and federal courts, law firms and government agencies in Delaware, Washington, D.C. and New York City. While in Washington, the groups had VIP tours of the U.S. Supreme Court and visited the U.S. Capitol and Senate Chambers.

After completing their studies at ELI, many of the scholars went on to continue their legal studies at American law schools. The law program continues to grow and will be offered again in January and July of 2002.
