Montgomery, Marjorie, Ed.; Moulden, Richard G., Ed.
A compilation of student impressions of legal systems and constitutions in different countries, this booklet contains examples of student work completed at a 5-day law related education institute in Washington, D.C. in 1990. The institute brought together students representing seven different countries (China, France, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, India, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka) to explore law and social issues. Countries participating in the institute included Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, the Netherlands, and the Philippines. The booklet contains student poetry, letters, essays, and cartoons that express attitudes and positions on legal and constitutional issues that became topics for exploration at the institute. (TSV)
