Editor's note

"The world is a book," wrote St.Augustine, "and those who do not travel read only one page. "So travel with us into this issue of the Forum, which takes note of the increasingly international quality of UB Law School. That globalization is cemented with the naming of Professor Makau Mutua, a scholar with deep roots in the African nation of Kenya, as interim dean. It ranges from current students'globe-trotting internships in human rights and other public-interest law, to scholarly contacts in South America, Russia and Thailand, and to our alumni in far-flung places, including China and Korea.

International students are attracted to Buffalo for our LL.M. program, visiting scholars mingle with our students and faculty, and our International Law concentration continues to develop.

As the world in which we live gets smaller,UB Law is extending its reach and its influence far beyond Western New York.Happy travels!

On the cover:
Human rights internships take UB Law students far and wide.

As an undergraduate, Brian McCarthy '07 taught English, math and written Swahili on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania, through the Jesuit Volunteer Corps International. When he went back to Africa as a UB Law intern at the Kenyan Human Rights Commission, he made a side trip back to Tanzania to visit with a former student, Joseph Shaban Magazi, and Magazi's family. McCarthy is now pursuing a master's degree in public health at UB.
