Northwestern Exports to Qatar Its First U.S. – Style Law School

Northwestern University School of Law will help launch a graduate law school in Doha, Qatar, that will be the first program of its kind in the Middle East. Last week, Hamad bin Khalifa University announced the launch of the program, which will begin classes in the fall and offer juris doctor degrees, the standard at U.S. law schools. A Northwestern professor, Clinton Francis, will be interim dean at the new school and, together with other faculty, will create the curriculum and hire staff, the University said in a statement last week.
