The Global Legal Studies Center
of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, CA, USA, and
the Law Faculty of the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California,
Tijuana, Mexico, in collaboration with the University of California
Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies, La Jolla, CA, USA, will present
a conference entitled Cross-Border Urban Integration in the
21st Century: The San Diego-Tijuana Model. There will be
a balance of viewpoints presented, in terms of US-Mexican representation
on each panel, and public-private perspectives. The conference
date is Friday, March 31st, 2000.
Attorneys, academicians, cross-border
organizations, and other institutions will
have this opportunity to converse, debate, and learn about the
enormous potential, but avoidable pitfalls, accompanying the
labor, environmental, and infrastructure issues in an emerging
metropolis--consisting of the two largest cities separated by
an international boundary, and located on the busiest border
crossing in the world.
Opening Remarks by representatives
of these three institutions will be followed by
a keynote speech, delivered by the Governor of Baja California,
Lic. Alejandro Gonzales Alcocer. Four panels will then examine
the problems and prospects for improving the urban and the economic
development of the two cities on the
busiest border crossing in the world (see conference schedule below).
The Thomas Jefferson Law Review
will also publish a law review symposium
issue. It will contain certain papers by these, and other interested
individuals, who have been invited to submit papers for possible
publication by the TJSL Law Review. You are invited to contact
Gabe Cho, of the TJSL Law Review <choy@tjsl.edu> with any
symposium questions (see
other conference contact information below). |
