*The course will have introductory sessions here in Madison at the
Law School in May, followed by one week in Nagoya beginning May 21.
After the joint session in Nagoya, there will be a number of class
sessions in June in Madison at the Law School that will be
conducted by internet videoconference. Participating UW students
must be in Madison for the internet sessions. For the conclusion of

in a dormitory-like accommodation in Japan, although those details
have not been worked out.
