After completing service as a corporal in the U.S. Army, Mondale received his LL.B (cum laude) from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1956, having served on the law review and as a law clerk in the Minnesota Supreme Court. Mondale practiced law for the next four years in Minneapolis. In 1960, Minnesota Gov. Orville Freeman appointed him to the position of state attorney general.

International studies center opens with major conference By Ann Nicholson The School of Law is launching a new Institute for Global Legal Studies that will foster groundbreaking educational and research initiatives on a broad range of international issues. The institute officially will kick off Nov. 17-18 with an inaugural colloquium titled "The United Nations and the Protection of Human Rights" The institute's director is Stephen H. Legomsky, J.D., D. Phil., the Charles F. Nagel Professor of International and Comparative Law and a renowned scholar in immigration, refugee and citizenship law and policy. "Today, people, goods, services, information and capital all flow freely across international boundaries," Legomsky said. "From the Internet, e-mail and fax machines, to travel, migration, commerce and foreign relations, the story of the new millennium will be our ever-shrinking planet. The world's problems and the problems entrusted to lawyers will increasingly require international cooperation and international solutions." Joel Seligman, J.D., law school dean and the Ethan A. H. Shepley University Professor, said the new institute builds on the school's existing international programs. "The study of international, foreign and comparative law is a critical ingredient of a well-rounded legal education and a core element of legal and interdisciplinary scholarship," he said. "The institute will synthesize and advance the profound international strengths of both the University and the law school as it tackles leading international and comparative law issues."

STATEMENT OF THE MEIKLEJOHN CIVIL LIBERTIES INSTITUTE (MCLI) [November 2, 2001] The Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute is an organization dedicated to publicizing and using the fundamental principles of the U.S. Constitution, the United Nations Charter and other human rights treaties. We join everyone in mourning the lives that were lost on Sept. 11 and sympathize with the survivors. We urge the US Government to comply with international law and to make use of the wisdom embodied in the law. There can be no justification for terrorism. Yet the root causes of this terrorism lie deep in the unresolved political issues of the last century, issues of basic justice and human rights that cannot be settled by military force. Thus the bombing of Afghanistan, and the use of ground troops, can do little or nothing toward ending terrorism and is more likely to increase it. It violates international law and to date has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians, including Afghan national employees of the UN removing land mines, and the destruction of marked Red Cross/Red Crescent food warehouses, adding a further tragedy to those of New York and Washington, D.C. The only organization in place that can work effectively for the peaceful resolution of the deep political/economic issues that lie behind the use of terrorism in the United States and elsewhere is the United Nations, the organization our country helped to create for that purpose. It must be allowed to carry out this purpose.

126 HOLOCAUST SCHOLARS AFFIRM THE INCONTESTABLE FACT OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND URGE WESTERN DEMOCRACIES TO OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZE IT At the Thirtieth Anniversary of the Scholars’ Conference on the Holocaust and the Churches, convening at St. Joseph University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 3-7, 2000, one hundred twenty-six Holocaust scholars, holders of Academic Chairs and Directors of Holocaust Research and Studies Centers, participants in the conference, signed a statement affirming that the World War I Armenian Genocide is an incontestable historical fact and accordingly urge the governments of Western Democracies to recognize it as such. The petitioners, among whom is Nobel Laureate for Peace Elie Wiesel, who was the keynote speaker at the conference, also asked the Western Democracies to urge the Government and Parliament of Turkey to finally come to terms with a dark chapter of Ottoman-Turkish history and to recognize the Armenian Genocide. This would provide an invaluable impetus to the process of the democratization of Turkey. Below is a partial list of the signatories: Prof. Yehuda Bauer
