    Hi All,

    We have a professor here that wants us to find courses descriptions regarding courses having to do with Nation Building. He included the following course description in his request.

    *******************************

    Law 678 Law of Nationbuilding. International intervention in Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq have raised a number of questions about public international law, administrative law, and how best to create a legal framework for development of democratic institutions and market economies. Students will write papers on some aspect of law related to these nationbuilding challenges. The seminar will be integrated with the Nationbuilding IPRO, which will have students working on projects related to the political trusteeship in Kosovo, including promotion of tourism, resolution of legal issues related to privatization, compiling applicable law, especially pertaining to property and commercial transactions.

    ***************************

    I'm wondering if anyone can suggest an efficient way of finding this information that doesn't include going to all the law school websites and searching their course listings. Is there a directory? We haven't checked with the ABA or AALS yet to see if they compile such information--it seems unlikely to me that they do...

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Christine
