E.A.C.L.E.

 The European-American Consortium for Legal Educaction (EACLE) promotes cooperation and the exchange of ideas between European and American lawyers, law teachers, and law students.

The EACLE partners are convinced that the future of legal education will require greater integration between law faculties across borders, and more frequent exchanges of faculty and students. This will work best through closer partnerships in multinational webs of cooperation that will give students the greatest possible flexibility, and more strongly encourage their transnational experience. 

The primary activities of the EACLE consortium include: 1) the exchange of faculty every fall for week- or semester-long visits; 2) the exchange of students during the spring semester; 3) an annual conference in May; and 4) the publication of the conference proceedings the following fall. Each academic year’s exchanges focus on a particular research topic.
