Justice Kennedy Teaching In Austria Again
July 03, 2010
Associate Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States is co-teaching a course on Fundamental Rights in Europe and the United States in Pacific McGeorge's Summer International Legal Studies Program this month for the 21st consecutive year.
On hundred and eight law students arrived in Salzburg at the beginning of July to attend the opening dinner of annual summer program. Included in the class are students from seven American law schools and foreign law schools in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Justice Kennedy, a Sacramento native who has been a member of the Pacific McGeorge faculty since 1965, first taught the course in London in 1989. Justice Kennedy and the program move to Salzburg the following year and he has taught there every summer since.
Professor Sionaidh Douglas-Scott of the Oxford University School of Law co-teaches the fundamental rights course. Pacific McGeorge professor Linda Carter is teaching another course, International Criminal Law, in the three-week (July 3-24, 2010) program while veteran attorneys Fernando Pombo Garcia and Joseph Smallhoover are co-teaching the International Business Lawyer.
