Dr. Frank Emmert, John S. Grimes Professor of Law and Director of the Center for International and Comparative Law, has been awarded a fellowship by the Soros Foundation/Open Society Institute and served as a Non-Resident International Scholar during the academic year 2006-07 in the Foundation's Higher Education Support Program. Prof. Emmert worked with universities and academics in four regions of the Academic Fellowship Program, namely South Eastern Europe (SEE), Russia, Ukraine, Moldova (RUM), Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia (Caucasus), and Central Asia and Mongolia (Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Mongolia). He traveled to Kyrgyzstan to teach a course at American University Central Asia and to discuss matters of curriculum development, methodology of teaching, and related issues with colleagues at the law school there. Prof. Emmert also spoke at a conference in Crimea in spring 2007, where all resident and non-resident fellows in the 2006-07 program gathered together for an exchange of experience.
