Rodney Williams, from Baltimore, MD, received his undergraduate degree from WVU and is currently a graduate student in the WVU School of Journalism. After returning from Brazil, he will be working for the WVU Office for Social Justice.
Participating students had the opportunity to study international and comparative law in Brazil. Lectures and seminars were led by WVU law professors, with some lectures in Rio & Vitória from Brazilian professors. All lectures were in English. Students visited Brazilian legal institutions as well as held classes in Brazilian law schools. Seminars took place throughout the trip on various topics, including international environmental law in the Amazon at a jungle lodge.
