The theme for this year's course is 'Order from Chaos: Contexts for Global Legal Information'. Two days will be devoted to current issues in public international law, including the prosecution of terrorists and war criminals, human rights, and the work of the United Nations. The sessions on the United Nations will be held at U.N. headquarters in New York City. The first day of the course will look at historical and current trends in American legal publishing and legal education.

The optional day at Harvard will feature experts on Islamic law and Islamic legal bibliography.

For more information, see the Final Program.

Participants will have ample time to meet colleagues from around the world. A come-and-go open house at Quinnipiac University School of Law Library on Sunday afternoon will give early arrivals the opportunity to see New England foliage at Sleeping Giant State Park. (A shuttle bus will operate from the hotel to Quinnipiac University and Yale Law School throughout the afternoon. The ride to Quinnipiac University takes about 20 minutes.) Please indicate at the appropriate place on the registration form if you plan to attend.

The opening reception at the Beinecke Rare Book Library will allow guests to enjoy the current display of library artifacts along with the distinctive architecture of the library.

Monday afternoon's visit to the Litchfield History Museum, the site of the nation's first law school, will offer another opportunity to view New England foliage. The museum visit will conclude with a reception. (The bus will take approximately one hour to reach Litchfield.) That evening small groups will have dinner in New Haven restaurants. (For more details, see the restaurant section.)

Tuesday's excursion to the United Nations will include a tour of headquarters and lunch in the Delegates' Dining Room. The bus ride to New York will take two hours.

Lunch on Wednesday will be at the Yale Law School dining hall, and the Annual Dinner will be Wednesday evening at the Graduate Club in New Haven.

Participants in the optional program at Harvard Law School will be served lunch and will end the day with a reception in the Harvard Law School Library.
