years, he has spoken on media policy
at international conferences in
Vancouver, Oxford, Budapest,
Haifa, Glasgow, and via videotape
in Montreal. He prepared a report,
which was published in Germany,
for a comparative constitutional law
conference on the subject of media concentration.This past year he

STEPHEN B. BURBANK David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice
Burbank has taught international
civil litigation for more than a
decade. During that period he has
published a number of articles on
that subject, comparative procedure
and the role of treaties in the area of
private international law. A member
of the State Department study group
that advises the American delegation
to the Hague Conference on Private
International Law in connection
with a proposed treaty on jurisdiction and judgments, he presented
a paper on aspects of the treaty at an international conference in
Paris. The paper was published both in a book and in the American
Journal of Comparative Law. A number of his suggestions for reform
of U.S. law in that article are reflected in the current draft of a
proposed federal statute on the recognition and enforcement of
internationally foreign judgments under consideration by the
American Law Institute. He is also an adviser to that project as well
as a United States adviser to the ALI/UNIDROIT project on
Principles and Rules of Transnational Civil Procedure. Since 1997,
he has been a visiting faculty member at Goethe University, in
Frankfurt, Germany; the University of Pavia, in Italy; and the
University of Urbino, also in Italy.
HOWARD CHANG Professor of Law
Chang focuses on the impact of
international trade on
environmental policy. He has
written a series of articles defending
the use of trade restrictions that
promote protection of the global
environment, as a matter of not only
legal doctrine but also economic
policy. His first article in this series
was originally published in the
Georgetown Law Journal, then
reprinted and excerpted in other law publications. He has also
analyzed labor migration from the international trade perspective,
proposing that nations reduce legal barriers to labor migration as
part of their negotiations to remove other trade barriers. His work
in this line of research has appeared in several publications including
the University of Pennsylvania Law Review.
