    Christine,

    I have handled similar requests for faculty here and have resorted to
    using CALI customized Google search page that restricts the search to US
    law school websites:

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.

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...
