The Global Legal Skills Conference, which took place 21-24 May in Verona, Italy, was truly wonderful. The wide array of speakers and participants, along with generous sponsors and hard-working staff, made this one of the most well-organized, interesting, and enriching conferences I've ever attended.
A sampling of the panel presentation topics include the following:
- Institutionalizing Practical Lawyering Skills in a Continuing Legal Education Program
- Creating a Cohesive Curriculum for Graduate Students
- Comparative Legislation, Statutory Drafting, and Statutory Interpretation
- Needs of Legal English Users in Italy
- International Legal Frameworks to Prevent Financial Abuse of Elders
- Teaching Students to Produce Scholarship
- Cool and Useful Foreign Law Legal Research Tools
- “Interference” and the Legal Writing Needs of International Lawyers
- Get Your Students Talking: Emphasizing Speaking Skills in LWR Courses for Foreign Lawyers
- Demystifying the American Law School Classroom for International LL.M. Students: Oral Reporting on Legal Research
- The Proposed EU-US Free Trade Agreement (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership): Its Impact on U.S. and European Law and How it Will Affect the Teaching of International Law

Next year's GLS Conference takes place in Chicago, and I highly recommend attending. These conferences just keep getting better and better!
