handle is hein.lbr/aafcnlt0018 and id is 1 raw text is: Foreign, Comparative and International Law Special Interest Section / American Association of Law Libraries FCIL Newsletter Volume 18 October 2003 Number I From the Chair Submitted by Jean M. Wenger The sunny Northwest provided an invigorating backdrop for the 2003 AALL Annual Meeting. Four FCIL-sponsored programs were held focusing on such diverse topics as the Council of Europe, the CISG, Maritime Law and American Indian Law. I had the opportunity to attend several committee and interest group meetings, and was again reminded of the many collection and research issues facing foreign, comparative and international law librarians and how generous you are in sharing your ideas and concerns. I strongly encourage members to attend interest group meetings as they are a rare opportunity to meet personally with colleagues. Reports from these meetings are available in this issue of the newsletter. (See pages 3-12) We had the distinct pleasure of welcoming Emmanuel Darkey, Librarian at the Faculty of Law Library, University of Ghana as the 2003 recipient of the Ellen Schaffer Foreign Librarian's Grant. During the African Law Interest Group meeting, Emmanuel spoke of his often challenging situation at the University in providing legal resources to faculty and students. We owe a thank you to Rhonda Gold, the Schaffer Grant Committee, and those FCIL members who helped to make Emmanuel's visit possible through their generosity. (See, Memories of the 96th Annual AALL Meeting, p. 12) The theme of the 2004 Annual Meeting, Boston to Mumbai. The World of Legal Information, resounds like a drum roll for the inaugural year of our new Strategic Plan. The Boston meeting's focus on foreign and international law and globalization is a unique opportunity for the FCIL SIS to highlight its role in the vitality of AALL and its prominent place in the field of law librarianship. Enthusiasm for the 2004 Boston
