Law School welcomes delegation from South Korea

Faculty and students from South Korea attended environmental law classes part of a collaboration between Kangwon National University and Lewis & Clark Law School.

Lewis & Clark Law School will host a delegation from Kangwon National University in South Korea from January 28 to February 1, 2013.  The delegation includes two faculty, Professor Siwon Park and Professor Sungja Cho, and eight of their top students. The group will attend an environmental law class, and experience the best of life in the Pacific Northwest. Professor Aubrey Baldwin, who taught over the summer at Kangwon, and the Environmental & Natural Resource Program have taken the lead in preparing for the visit.

“Lewis & Clark Law School combines the finest environmental law faculty with an unmatched location for experiencing an award-winning green city and a rich natural heritage” said Professor Baldwin. “As a school with a strong global law focus, our students and faculty circle the earth in their work and study, and we are proud to welcome visitors from around the world to repay the hospitality of our friends abroad.” 

The visit is part of a collaboration between Kangwon National University and Lewis & Clark Law School.  Dean Klonoff, on behalf of the Law School, signed a Memoranda of Understanding with Kangwon in 2012.  The school will continue to coordinate collaborations, exchanges, and visits to enrich the the teaching, research, and campus life at both institutions.
