N O H Y P E — J U S T T H E F A C T SYou can’t fake it. International stature must be earned. And at Tulane we’ve earned it

through long-standing excellence, sureness of purpose and years of commitment to

worthwhile endeavor. Tulane Law School entered into international legal training more

than 160 years ago, and it has achieved preeminence in this fi eld. This is not idle

boasting.

In the eyes of many European scholars, Tulane is simply #1. No other school or faculty

rivals ours in international reputation. We wrote the fi rst book on comparative law in the

United States. We established the fi rst U.S. curriculum in civil law. Our law review was

the fi rst to focus on civil and comparative law. And in 2002, a survey published in the

American Journal of Comparative Law named Tulane the top program in comparative

law worldwide. Since that time, two of the world’s leading comparative law scholars have

joined our faculty, further strengthening our programs.

The famous English comparatist Harold Gutteridge, observing that few American

schools had developed comparative law studies by 1949, nevertheless noted that “in the

United States, the Tulane University of Louisiana has been recognized as the centre of

comparative study, and the Tulane Law Review is largely devoted to the publication of

articles of interest to comparative lawyers.” This is still the case today. In fact, our role as

a central player in international law continues to expand.

F A C U L T YWhat are our specifi c strengths? First and foremost is the size and talent of our

international faculty. Over one quarter of our faculty of 40 professors teach and research

in the fi eld of international and comparative legal studies.

Many schools rely on short-term visiting instructors. Not Tulane. Our philosophy is

that basic teaching and research cannot be subcontracted out. We have internationalists,

comparatists and civilians on our full-time faculty, in addition to a large cadre of

gifted scholars teaching up to 80 internationally related courses. Sure, we have

many international visitors and a very talented adjunct faculty, yet our fundamental

responsibilities are shouldered by a large core faculty-in-residence that is accessible to

our students and committed to scholarship.

Still, more remarkable than the size of Tulane’s international faculty is the renowned

talent and learning of the team itself. It is composed of eminent scholars educated

at leading institutions throughout the world. They have received international honors

at the Hague, Athens, Paris, Brussels, and in Panama, as well as distinctions such as

Fulbright awards, and other prizes and decorations. Some leaders of the team, such as

Professor James Gordley and Professor Günther Handl, are legendary in international

and comparative law circles. Professor Handl, for example, has received international

recognition for his work on environmental issues worldwide. Professor Gordley’s works on

comparative law are read the world over, and in 2010, he was elected a corresponding

fellow of the British Academy, one of only a small number of US scholars to have received

this honor.

The world is keeping tabs on other members of our faculty, too. Professor Jörg Fedtke is

viewed as a rising star in comparative law circles. Professor Vernon Palmer is in the vanguard

of comparative law with his path-breaking work on the subject of mixed jurisdictions. In

2003, he was inducted into the International Academy of Comparative Law at the Hague,

joining his Tulane colleagues, Emeritus Professor Thanassi Yiannopoulos and Professor James

Gordley, as a member of this prestigious entity. Tulane is now one of the few universities

in the world to have had three faculty members elected to the Academy. Professor Colin

Crawford joined the Tulane faculty in 2010 as Director of the Payson Center for International

Development. His teaching and research interests are in environmental law and land use,

especially comparative, cross-cultural environmental justice issues, with particular focus on

Latin America and the Caribbean.

Members of the international and comparative faculty are in constant demand abroad and have

held chairs and lectureships throughout the world. Biographies appear beginning on page 14.

SUMMER SCHOOLS ABROAD

Tulane’s summer programs are offered in two-, three-, and four-week sessions. Courses are taught in English. Tulane summer programs have been held in recent years in:

• Rio de Janeiro, Brazil• Cambridge, England• London, England• Paris, France• Berlin, Germany• Rhodos, Greece• Siena, Italy• Amsterdam, The Netherlands

PAYSON CENTER PROGRAMS

By using the Law School’s directed research option, law students may attend the Payson Center’s Summer Institutes in Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda, Nicaragua, Brazil, Italy, Vietnam, South Africa, China, and Thailand. Each Institute focuses on a particular issue, for example, microfi nance for women in green development (in Nicaragua) or food security (in Rome and Senegal).

A V A S T N E T W O R KTulane is an institution that projects a

tangible presence around the world. This

vast international grid of people, programs,

and resources provides an unparalleled

opportunity for our students to work abroad,

as well as study law and learn languages

through an unusually concentrated network of

institutes, exchanges, job opportunities, and

international alumni within the Tulane family.

Consider the following:

• Through the Payson Center, a division of the

Law School, dozens of international

internships are available to Tulane students

who wish to work abroad during the summer.

These opportunities may be within NGOs and

governmental entities throughout the world.

• In conjunction with our summer abroad pro-

grams, private-sector internship opportunities

at law fi rms in Europe have been developed.

• By working closely with our Career

Development Offi ce, often using alumni

contacts, many students have been able to

fi nd opportunities abroad and subsequently

work at law fi rms and other employers

throughout the world. Over 1,000 Tulane Law

alumni live and practice outside the United

States, making it possible for students and

alumni to network with potential employers

throughout the world – in Argentina, Brazil,

Cameroon, Canada, China, Colombia,

Costa Rica, El Salvador, France, Germany,

Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Japan,

Korea, Madagascar, Mexico, Nicaragua,

Pakistan, Panama, Philippines, Saudi Arabia,

Switzerland, Syria, Thailand, and Venezuela.

In addition, we have more than 10,000

alumni here in the United States, many

of whom are well-positioned within large

multi-national American fi rms that hire our

students.

• With 14 foreign exchange agreements,

Tulane reaches out to the world’s most

prestigious universities to offer our

students semester-long visits abroad.

These international opportunities cover four

continents and enable our internationally

focused students to take, for credit, a full

semester of legal training abroad.

• We offer summer schools in as many as seven

countries outside the US. During the summer

break, Tulane students have a chance to

work, study, and play in some of the world’s

most beautiful and interesting locations,

notably Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin,

Cambridge, Siena, the Greek Isles, and Rio

de Janeiro. Each summer institute generally

has a special theme, such as admiralty law

in Rhodos, arbitration in Berlin, art law in

Siena, European Union law and International

Human Rights Law in Amsterdam, and

comparative legal studies in Paris. Tulane

assembles faculties of experts from around

the world. Tulane students study with students

from many other law schools. They visit

key institutions and benefi t from enriching

curricular offerings. These programs offer an

exciting opportunity to obtain highly textured

training in a particular specialization.

• Tulane has the largest and most

prestigious admiralty law program in the

world. Geographically blessed by location

in the second-largest port in the United

States, this great program attracts students

and teachers from around the world.

• Four of our seven law journals emphasize

international and comparative law. Here,

our students take on research and editing

duties on specialized international subjects.

The fl agship of these journals is the Tulane

Law Review, which is not only a great Law Review, which is not only a great Law Review

national review but is in fact the oldest,

most prestigious publication in the United

States emphasizing comparative law.

Founded in 1916 and with subscribers in

frequently that the Tulane Law Review is the Tulane Law Review is the Tulane Law Review

most prized American journal in the stacks

of foreign law libraries. And Tulane has other

prominent journals which enable students

to gain an apprenticeship in comparative

and international scholarship. These are the

faculty-led Tulane European and Civil Law

Forum and the student-edited Forum and the student-edited Forum Tulane Journal

of International and Comparative Law. Finally,

the Tulane Maritime Law Journal, while not

devoted to international and comparative law,

addresses many international issues by virtue

of the nature of maritime law.

• The International Legislative Drafting

Institute, housed and co-sponsored by the

law school, annually brings 50 legislators

and governmental drafters from 24 countries

around the world for skills training. We are

helping those who are helping democracies

fl ower.

• A diverse student body joins us on the New

Orleans campus. Because we have stressed

international studies for many years, we

attract many American students who have

already acquired foreign languages and

who have traveled or studied abroad. Here

they mingle with large numbers of students

from Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean,

Europe, and Africa. Because we recognize the

importance of language to law, we offer, in

cooperation with Tulane’s Freeman School of

Business, non-credit foreign-language courses

(Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian,

and Chinese, depending on demand) that

emphasize business and legal terminology.

• Our students fi nd rich offerings both inside and outside the classroom. Student

organizations regularly work together to develop and sponsor programs on a variety of

international topics. Among others, our Eberhard P. Deutsch International Law Society,

Tulane Law Women’s Association, Human Rights Law Society, Military Law Society,

Federalist Society, American Constitution Society, and ACLU chapter have collaborated

on programs addressing current issues in international law. Lectures on emerging

international topics are presented annually through the Eason Weinmann Center for

Comparative Law and the Eberhard Deutsch Lecture in Public International Law, as well

as through mini courses and workshops.

A D U A L P A S S P O R TThe third and most durable strength is the completely natural foundation upon which

our international program rests. These studies are our mission, not a passing fad. They

are not an accessory to the curriculum, but rather a central underpinning grounded in

historical circumstance.

More than 160 years ago, long before “globalization” became a fashionable word,

it was necessary for Tulane, as Louisiana’s fi rst law school and one of the 15 oldest in

the United States, to respond to a

dual (common law and civil law) legal

system. That early faculty made the

forward-thinking decision to teach the

common law and civil law side by side

in a dual curriculum. To this day we

continue to offer complete training in

both systems. As a result, our modern

international program, offering an

extraordinary number of courses, is the

natural outcome of our core function to

impart an ability to speak and reason

in the basic grammar of common law

and civil law.

Of course, those students who

opt to study American law exclusively

at Tulane will take away some appreciation of the other great tradition. But those who

pursue the international and comparative law curriculum will truly obtain the full benefi t

of the Tulane effect that broadens the horizon. These graduates often fi nd that the Tulane

degree really functions as a dual passport, valid throughout the United States and in

common law lands, but also opening the doors of legal opportunity throughout the civil

law world. As the world becomes increasingly internationalized and the global economy

fl ows from shore to shore, the need for a comprehensive understanding of international

laws is becoming imperative for many lawyers. Maybe your intent is to operate on the

global stage or work in corporate or trade law. Maybe you will represent clients with

foreign interests and investments. Perhaps you see the future as a place where you will

become a working citizen of the international community.

Perhaps you should take a closer look at Tulane Law School. 7

L I F E A T T U L A N EIn a typical month at Tulane, students fi nd an embarrassment of riches in the international arena. In addition to the dozens of courses offered each semester, opportunities abound to attend lectures, panel discussions, workshops and other presentations on international topics. Three student-edited journals have a partial or exclusive focus on international or comparative law—the Tulane Law Review, the Tulane Law Review, the Tulane Law Review Tulane Maritime Law Journal, and the Tulane Journal of International & Comparative Law. In addition, the faculty edited Tulane Journal of International & Comparative Law. In addition, the faculty edited Tulane Journal of International & Comparative LawEuropean and Civil Law Forum welcomes student participation. Our Moot Court organization trains and sponsors teams for several competitions with an international focus. These include the Jessup International Moot Court competition and the Willem Vis International Commercial Arbitration competition, the latter taking place in Vienna, Austria each spring. The fi rst-ever Pan American Moot Court competition was held in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, sponsored jointly by Tulane along with law schools in Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala. Students also become involved in such student organizations as the Eberhard Deutsch International Law Society, the Human Rights Law Society, Graduate Lawyers at Tulane, and the Maritime Law Society. Frequently, student organizations will form coalitions to sponsor programs. For example, our International Law Society, Human Rights Law Society, and Law Women’s Association have joined together to hold a half-day “Symposium on the International Human Rights of Women.” Subsequently, those organizations, along with the Military Law Society, the Federalist Society, and our American Civil Liberties Union chapter, hosted “The Judiciary and the War on Terror.” Other recent programs include a Guantanamo Bay Teach-In jointly sponsored by the Human Rights Law Society and Amnesty International; a speaker on Transnational Business Law arranged by the Business Law Society and the International Law Society; and an Immigration Symposium developed by the International Law Society, La Alianza del Derecho (our Latino student organization), and Graduate Lawyers at Tulane. In any given academic year, students have the opportunity to hear and interact with Tulane faculty members, as well as visiting scholars and practitioners, speaking on a wide range of international topics. There are programs on international career opportunities as well as ones on substantive law.

C U R R I C U L U M & C E R T I F I C A T E S O F S P E C I A L I Z A T I O NTake a glance at the curriculum, and the richness, breadth and depth of foreign and

international offerings at Tulane is immediately apparent. There are ten courses covering

the fi eld of private civil law, and students who specialize in these studies will receive

the Civil Law Certifi cate. There are eight courses on European and Comparative Law

that form the core of our highly acclaimed European Legal Studies Certifi cate program.

This program leads to a full grounding in European Union law, European private law,

and transnational business law. Complementing this picture are dozens of courses in

aspects of international law, ranging from the law of the sea to human rights, from trade

and investment in Latin America to international public law and international business

transactions, enabling us to offer the certifi cate in International and Comparative Law.

E A S O N W E I N M A N N C E N T E R F O R C O M PA R A T I V E L A WProviding an institutional lightning rod for much of the international and comparative

activity at Tulane is the Eason Weinmann Center for Comparative Law. An anticipated

event on the academic calendar is the Eason Weinmann lecture, which brings in eminent

scholars of comparative law from around the world. Since 1981, the Center has also

hosted colloquia that regularly attract dozens of scholars from more than 20 foreign

nations and at least 30 American law schools. A list of recent colloquia appears on page 9.

The center’s extensive website is located at www.law.tulane.edu/tlscenters/eason.

G R A D U A T E P R O G R A MTulane Law School offers fi ve different LL.M. programs:

• General LL.M.

• LL.M. in Admiralty

• LL.M. in American Law

• LL.M. in Energy & Environment

• LL.M. in International & Comparative Law

In addition, we offer the Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) to a limited number of students

who hold the fi rst law degree (JD or LLB or equivalent) as well as an LL.M. degree.

Our programs enable both U.S. and foreign lawyers to study the nuances of the law of

the United States and other legal systems. During the last 75 years, hundreds of students

from more than 50 countries have obtained graduate degrees at Tulane.

What this means for all Tulane law students is that they have the unique opportunity

to talk on a daily basis with lawyers from other countries. This enriches the international

environment at Tulane in a way that few schools can match.

For our LL.M. students, we offer a rich curriculum and all of the resources of Tulane

Law School. Virtually every course is open to our graduate students, along with a dizzying

variety of lectures, programs, and other events.

Students pursuing the General LL.M., the LL.M. in International and Comparative

Law, and the LL.M. in American Law may consider part-time study. Attorneys working

full-time in the New Orleans area may apply for admission to the LL.M. in Admiralty

program for part-time study. The LL.M. in Energy & Environment faculty encourage all

U.S. candidates to consider part-time enrollment in this program in order to be exposed

to the greatest number of courses, since some are not offered every year. Candidates who

require an F-1 student visa must complete the LL.M. program on a full-time basis.

J O I N T D E G R E E P R O G R A M SThe Law School offers two joint-degree programs of particular relevance to students who

are interested in international law. These are:

• JD/MA in Latin American Studies, through Tulane’s Stone Center for Latin

American Studies

• JD/MS in International Development through Tulane’s Payson Center, itself a division of

the Law School

These joint programs can be completed within eight semesters.

In addition to the joint degrees listed above, students have pursued other joint

programs with signifi cant international content, including the JD/MPH through Tulane’s

School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine, which emphasizes global health issues.

Our long-standing JD/MBA program, which can be completed in four years, also offers

students the opportunity for international involvement through the Goldring Institute of

International Business of Tulane’s Freeman School of Business.

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS

“In a world that is increasingly interconnected, the lives and concerns of people in other lands implicate our own lives and concerns, or are implicated by them. International human rights law is about developing institutions and processes that would enable us (as individuals and as communities) to develop a world in which individuals are treated as moral beings with certain inviolable rights, rather than as instruments to be used for the achievement of this or that goal (whether collective or individual). The study of human rights is therefore about the development and enforcement of moral and ethical standards that should guide us as to how we (as individuals, communities and authorities) ought to treat others and how we ought to live ourselves. The lives we lead are either diminished or enriched by the way we treat others.”

LATIN AMERICA

Tulane University offers signifi cant resources for students interested in Latin America. The Payson Center for International Development, a division of the Law School, has developed signifi cant projects in Latin America, complementing Tulane University’s longstanding involvement through its Stone Center for Latin American Studies and the Middle American Research Institute. Law students may take one course each semester in another division of the university, and students interested in this region of the world may wish to exercise this option. In addition, the Law School offers JD students the opportunity to pursue a joint JD/MA in Latin American Studies. Within the law curriculum itself, opportunities also exist for a focus on Latin America. Most obvious, of course, are our offerings in the civil law, which is the legal system throughout Central and South America. Professor Crawford is an expert on Latin America; his Law, Sustainability and Development course uses many Latin American examples. Professor Handl’s Public International and International Environmental courses also include some Latin American components. In the international environmental area, there is an emphasis on the normative underpinnings of sustainable development, biological diversity, and climate change—all major issues in Latin American development and eco-tourism. The Environmental Justice Seminar devotes time to the rights of indigenous peoples to the preservation of their natural environments, which is an important issue in Brazil and neighboring countries. Tulane offers its JD students the opportunity to spend a semester at the law school of the University of Buenos Aires and began a summer program in Rio de Janeiro in 2011. The Inaugural Pan American Moot Court program was held in Rio in 2011, sponsored jointly by Tulane and three law schools in Brazil, Colombia, and Guatemala.

in the environmental and land use areas, particularly comparative, cross-cultural environmental justice issues, with a particular focus on Latin America and the Caribbean.

in Zambia, the Philippines, and Germany, where he went on to study

law and political science. Following research both at the Institute

for International Affairs in Hamburg and the Institute for Foreign and Comparative Law

at the University of South Africa (UNISA) in Pretoria, Professor Fedtke was awarded a

PhD, summa cum laude, by the University of Hamburg for an extensive analysis of legal

TULANE EMBRACES

AN EMERGING FIELD: INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

THE PAYSON CENTER

The Payson Center for International Development was formed in 1998 as a division of Tulane University and became a part of Tulane Law School on January 1, 2008. The Payson Center is headed by Professor Colin Crawford, a tenured member of the faculty of Tulane Law School. The Center’s founding mission was “to enhance the impact of information on social development and the development of less economically advantaged populations,” through innovation, research, implementation, and evaluation. Since its inception, the Center has administered 34 projects in 25 countries, with a combined project budget of over $52 million. Because of its focus on sustainable human development, the Payson Center is fundamentally interdisciplinary, drawing on economics, environment, law, public health, sociology, and various other academic fi elds. Although initially research- and project-based, the Payson Center soon received authority and accreditation to offer the MS in International Development. International Development is an emerging fi eld; presently, the only comparable programs specializing in International Development are at Columbia, Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and Johns Hopkins. This is the fi rst such program affi liated with a law school. Many of the projects in the Payson Center’s service portfolio already have a law or law-related component—such as transitional justice, confl ict resolution, human rights, sustainable environmental development, sexual violence, child labor, and regulation of economic industries. With this new organizational structure, however, the Payson Center will gradually shift both its curricular focus and its fi eld work to further emphasize the core legal aspects of International Development.

Law students benefi t from this merger in several respects, including: • The opportunity to register for new cross-listed Payson Center courses focused on international

law and development • The opportunity to enroll in Payson Summer Institutes through the Law School’s directed research

option, in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe.• Summer externship opportunities working abroad on legal aspects of Payson Center projects,

in locations ranging from The Hague to Uganda. • Participation in the new Pan American Moot Court Competition• The opportunity to sit in on Payson Center PhD research colloquia.• Further strengthening and development of the J.D./M.S. in International Development joint

degree program

As a result of Tulane Law School’s long institutional identity in international and comparative law, the Payson Center offers the Law School a wholly mature, new dimension in its international presence and reputation. From a research perspective, Law School faculty will have the opportunity to participate in law-related Payson Center projects, as well as develop their own projects in the international fi eld drawing on the resources of the Payson Center.

James GordleyJames Gordley came to Tulane Law School in 2007 from Boalt Hall, University of California, Berkeley, where he served on the faculty beginning in 1978. He was a fellow at the Institute of Comparative Law at the University of Florence, an associate with the Boston fi rm of Foley Hoag & Eliot, and an Ezra Ripley Thayer Fellow at Harvard before beginning his teaching career.

Professor Gordley has been a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fulbright Fellow, a Senior NATO Fellow and a fellow of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. He has been a visiting professor at the Universities of Fribourg, Regensburg, Munich, Milan, and Universita Commerciale Luigi Bocconi; a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Law in Hamburg, the European University Institute in Fiesole, and the University of Cologne; and the Jean Monnet Distinguished Professor in Comparative Law at the University of Trent. He was awarded the UC Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award in 1984 and the Rutter Award for Teaching Distinction in 2001. In 2010, the Tulane Law School graduating class selected Professor Gordley to receive the Felix Frankfurter Distinguished Teaching Award. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a titulary member of the International Academy of Comparative Law. In 2010, Professor Gordley was elected a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy, one of only a small number of US law professors honored in this way.

Günther Handl“One of the major purposes of teaching international law to students is to convey to them the much larger context in which we operate as both individuals and lawyers,” states Eberhard Deutsch Professor of Public International Law, Günther Handl. Focusing on international environmental law, public international law, and international human rights law, Professor Handl holds law degrees from the University of

Graz, Austria; Cambridge University, England; and Yale University. It was during his years at Cambridge University that he developed an interest in international environmental law. He had the opportunity then to assist his thesis adviser in the representation of Australia in a suit brought before the International Court of Justice to prohibit France from conducting atmospheric nuclear testing. Professor Handl has also worked with the Asian Development Bank in the context of applying international environmental law to the Bank’s activities in developing member states in Asia. “I think that international environmental law deals with a broad spectrum of cross-sectional international issues,” says Handl. Beyond that, Handl states that international environmental law is on the cutting edge of general international law and points to the way the global community is changing. “We are moving away from the consent-based model of law-making and into a decision-making process in which a majority of states asserts the right to make law on behalf of the international community at large, and increasingly gets away with it.” According to Handl, international environmental law, like human rights regimes, epitomizes this trend, both in terms of the making and the application of international norms. In recognition of his exceptional accomplishments in the fi eld of environmental law, Professor Handl was selected by an international jury representing the Université de Bruxelles and the International Environmental Law Council to receive the Elizabeth Haub Prize for 1997.

William Lovett“The reality of the global marketplace is unavoidable,” states Emeritus

Professor William Lovett. “Modern lawyers must be prepared to

function effectively and understand this environment.” For Lovett, this

point was made abundantly clear during a sabbatical to Japan and

the Far East. “I became much more aware of how good the industrial

policies of the Far East were. They use skillful teamwork between

government and global economies.”

Long an expert on domestic economic regulation, Lovett’s work has become increasingly

internationally oriented—particularly in the areas of international trade and commerce.

His text on banking and fi nancial institutions has been translated into Japanese. He has

authored books on US shipping policies and the world market and on US trade policy, has

provided a report for the Banking Committee of the US House of Representatives entitled,

“Competitive Industrial Policies and the World Bazaar,” and has testifi ed before Congress

on GATT and the WTO. He is truly an internationalist, with interest and substantial

knowledge about economic policies in Latin and Central America, Asia, and Europe.

“Tulane has had a major advantage because of its more international and less

parochial perspective,” says Lovett. “This has been a crucial aid in building a global

network for our scholars and has allowed for excellent contacts abroad. Tulane’s

comparative and international tradition makes it one of the top law schools in the country

for this kind of work.” Professor Lovett teaches International Trade, Finance & Banking.

Thanassi YiannopoulosProfessor Yiannopoulos is an internationally renowned scholar of civil

law, comparative law, and maritime law. He came to Tulane in 1979.

He has been in charge of the revision of the Louisiana Civil Code as

reporter for the Louisiana State Law Institute and has been the editor

of West’s Pamphlet Edition of the Louisiana Civil Code since 1980.

He has also authored three volumes of the Louisiana Civil Law Trea-

tise series, now in the fourth edition. Professor Yiannopoulos has published widely in the

fi elds of civil law, comparative law, confl ict of laws, and admiralty. He has directed the

Law School’s summer programs in Greece since 1980. He is currently revising portions of

the civil code, collecting materials for an admiralty textbook, and working on the next edi-

tion of his property treatise. His revision of the Civil Code provisions on quasi-contracts

became law in 1996, on representation and mandate in 1998, on deposit and sequestra-

tion in 2003, and on loan in 2004. Professor Yiannopoulos is a member of the Interna-

tional Academy of Comparative Law (The Hague) and of the American Law Institute. He

retired from the full-time faculty at the end of the 2007-08 academic year, but continues

to teach one course each year in his area of expertise.
