We are asked to gaze into the crystal ball and tell them what we see. But rapid changes in technology, international and domestic politics, the natural environment, and human society challenge our abilities to fulfill this role of legal seer. The past is but a partial teacher. So is our local community. At UNH School of Law, we try to bring together people who can extend our vision to the far rim of the globe and of the future. We become better lawyers, and even more importantly, more effective citizens in the global village.* He continues his affiliation with UNH Law as an Emeritus Professor, while now teaching courses in Chinese culture, film, literature and the arts at UNH.
