Rule of Law: What Does It Mean

handle is hein.journals/mjgt18 and id is 297 raw text is: Cite as: 18 Minn. J. Int'l L. 293 (2009) Rule of Law Symposium Rule of Law: What Does it Mean? Robert Stein* I congratulate the Editors of the Journal of International Law on organizing this Symposium on the subject of the Rule of Law, specifically, Creating a Rule of Law Culture. The Journal was established during the time I served as Dean of the Law School, and I take pride in the way it has grown through the years. When I returned to the faculty of the Law School two years ago, I was eager to bring to the curriculum of the school a course on the rule of law and to stimulate and encourage scholarship on this subject. The rule of law movement has been a major development in the world over the past two decades, a development in which I was substantially engaged during the time I served as Executive Director of the American Bar Association. Until now, this subject has received little attention in the curricula of our nation's law schools. This curricular void will be addressed in a presentation later in this Symposium. A Rule of Law Seminar has now been established at this Law School, and I am delighted that the Journal editors decided to focus the scholarship of this Symposium on this important subject. An enormous amount of technical legal assistance work has Professor Robert Stein, Everett Fraser Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School. I would like to thank Nicholas A. Smith, 2008 graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School, and Charles E. Dickinson, candidate for graduation in 2009 from the University of Minnesota Law School, for their able research assistance in the preparation of this article. This article is adapted from Professor Stein's remarks at the Minnesota Journal of International Law's Rule of Law Symposium on November 14, 2008.
