"We are a community devoted to learning and the free exchange of ideas. In pursuit of that mission, we not only welcome, but affirmatively invite students, faculty, and visiting speakers and scholars from all over the world to join us in the pursuit of knowledge and mutual understanding. Our international students, in particular, are highly valued members of our community; their participation in the life of the law school enriches our classes, multiplies our learning, and helps build bridges of peace and goodwill across the globe from which all ultimately profit." - Interim Dean James A. Gardner
