16 FCIL Newsl. 1 (2001-2002)

handle is hein.lbr/aafcnlt0016 and id is 1 raw text is: Foreign, Comparative and International Law Special Interest Section / American Association of Law Libraries FCIL Newsletter Volume 16 October 2001 Number I From the Chair Tracy Thompson, Chair NOTE: This report, like most of this newsletter, was written prior to the World Trade Center attacks. Throughout this newsletter you will see messages of support and comfort from librarians and scholars around the world. These messages were directed to the Mortenson Center for International Programs at UJUC, and we thank them for sharing these sentiments with us. We have also included a list of links to resources on terrorism. Summer went by, as we all expected, entirely too quickly. Minneapolis seems like a distant memory as school buses rumble to life, footballs spiral through the air, and recipes for comfort food are reclaimed. Still, though fall surrounds us, settle back in your chair and let your memory return you to the 2001 Annual Meeting in steamy Minneapolis. Thanks in large part to the efforts of Jean Davis, your past president and inexhaustible champion, the FCIL-SIS had a very successful week of programs, meetings and events. All told we sponsored seven education programs, seven interest group meetings, an additional substantive program outside of the traditional program schedule (John Furlong on the Irish legal system), as well as our regular laundry list of administrative meetings, including our business meeting, publications committee meeting, educational committee meeting, strategic planning committee meeting, and more (including the ever-popular alternative luncheon at Aquavit). FCIL-SIS members also figured prominently in several programs not sponsored by our SIS (Jonathan Franklin and Mary Strouse come to mind). The SIS did an outstanding job of utilizing the time and the facilities creatively to maximize the substantive content of the meeting. For example, the East European Law Interest Group hosted speaker Suzanne Thorpe, who discussed the Swedish legal system, and the African Law Interest Group learned about the plight of the witches of Gambaga.
