The tale of a survivor: despite bombardments, law school refuses to close
Article Abstract:
Sarajevo Law School remained open throughout the protracted war there, in spite of frequent shelling of the facilities that killed two instructors and an unknown number of students. It graduated 310 lawyers during the three and a half years of conflict, but the number of students fell from 3000-4000 to 1100. The support of the US legal community helped clarify its differences from Europe's: the former advocates individual rights; the latter, ethnic ones, promoting division of Bosnia. The war showed many students the value of law.
