Oppenheimer Developing Comparative Law Summer Program in Paris

David Oppenheimer (Golden Gate) sends word that he has moved from being Academic Dean to Research Dean.  In this new capacity, he will be developing a comparative law summer program in Paris.

He writes:

Our Paris program has provided a great opportunity for students and faculty interested in comparative employment discrimination law.  Our special guests have included Catharine MacKinnon speaking on comparative sexual harassment in 2005 and Charles Ogletree speaking on comparative racial justice in 2006.  Eva Paterson of the Equal Justice Society is scheduled to join us for a week in 2007.  Our classes in 2006 included Comparative Labor Law with Joe Grodin of Hastings and Pascal Lochiek of the University of Paris, and Comparative Equality Law (with a major emphasis on employment discrimination), which I co-teach with Sophie Robin-Olivier of the University of Paris.  Anyone planning to be in Paris next June is invited to drop by.  We host several mini-conferences and receptions and are always happy to have visitors from other law schools.

Congratulations, David, on your new position and much luck with developing this exciting new comparative law program!
