<p>Delaware Law School recently signed an articulation agreement with the University of the Itaja&iacute; Valley or UNIVALI in Brazil. The agreement, signed recently by both Delaware Law Dean Rodney Smolla and Professor Dr. Paulo M&aacute;rcio Cru &ndash; the Dean of the Post-Graduate Program in Juridical Science (LLM and SJD) at UNIVALI &ndash; will provide a variety of exchange opportunities between the two schools.</p>
<p>The agreement provides for collaboration involving students and professors for studies and research and avails both universities to opportunities for dual degree programs, particularly <a href="ipl://123//W10=">LLM</a> and <a href="ipl://839//W10=">SJD programs</a>. While UNIVALI has similar agreements with Perugia in Italy, Alicante in Spain, and Minho in Portugal, this represents the first such agreement with an American University.</p>
<p>In remarks at the signing, Cruz said, &ldquo;We are aware of the level of the group of professors you have here, especially in Constitutional Law, Environmental Law, Human Rights, and Corporate Law . . .&rdquo; specifically, he mentioned Professors <a href="ipl://20//WyIyOSJd">Erin Daly</a> and <a href="ipl://20//WyIxMjIiXQ==">James May</a>, who visited UNIVALI in May, and Assistant Dean Eileen Grena as instrumental in making the connection between the two schools.</p>
