Contemporary Challenges in American & Global Law

Contemporary Challenges in American & Global Law

In October 2020, under the leadership of Professor Emerita Leah Wortham, The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in Washington, DC, and the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland established the "Contemporary Challenges in American & Global Law" webinar series. These bi-monthly webinars focused on some of the most pressing and timely topics challenging the international legal system today. The 16 one-hour webinars reached members of the Catholic Law and JU communities across the country and around the world—and in doing so, highlighted Catholic Law’s established presence internationally, and in particular, its footprint within the European Union.
