Peter Andrew Jaszi

Professor of Law
Professor Jaszi In the last several years, it's been my special privilege to participate in the development of several academic innovations at WCL: student exchanges with the University of Paris X—Nanterre and the City University of Hong Kong and a Supervised Externship Program, which gives students working for credit in legal workplaces around Washington an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of their field experiences in a classroom setting. And these are only a few of the new activities which WCL can boast of having launched. The tremendous recent successes of the Women and the Law and Law and Government Programs are outstanding examples of what our community can accomplish. Currently, I'm working on a new initiative to create a specialized program in my own field of specialization: intellectual property. More generally, I'm convinced that WCL's institutional future depends on the willingness and ability of faculty, students, and administrators to take an entrepreneurial approach to the school's development. And I think we are meeting the challenge."
