Chicago students plan to export American con law to Chinese
Article Abstract:
A group of University of Chicago Law School students are spearheading a project to write American law textbooks to be translated into Chinese for use in the Chinese legal system. Wang Wei Dong, a Chinese attorney who has studied and worked in the US for four years, had the idea for the effort. The first text will be a two-volume constitutional law case book with a projected production cost of $80,000. Dean Geoffrey R. Stone feels obtaining private funding will not be difficult.

Minority students put together, but some whites are objecting
Article Abstract:
The University of Nebraska College of Law is placing minority students together in their classes in an effort to help them adjust to law school. Some white students are upset because they feel grouping minorities will lower grading curves in classes where minorities are present, and raise them in classes with no minority students. Dean Harvey S. Perlman reports that minority students like the policy, which will be re-evaluated next year.
