The agreement solidifies a faculty exchange program between the schools, and supports continued development of a student exchange program, said UF law Professor Michael Gordon, who will teach in Escuela Libre's Private International Law Program in March. UF sponsored a summer law program at the Escuela Libre from 1971 to 1981. There are many opportunities for our state and law school to develop beneficial cooperative efforts with Mexico, including trade opportunities in vegetables and citrus. In spring 2000, two faculty members from the Escuela Libre will teach in a Foreign Enrichment Course at UF on Trade and Investment in Latin America.

Among the featured speakers will be The Hon. Buddy MacKay and The Hon.
