Educational Program for Brazilian Lawyers and Federal Judges


Mercer Law School hosted 18 Brazilian judges and lawyers in an intercultural educational program. The judges and lawyers came from all over the country of Brazil, and were in Macon to learn about the U.S. legal system, the educational process for lawyers in the U.S., and to view court proceedings in both the state and federal courts here. The program ran from September 15th to the 24th, 2009. While they were in Georgia, our visitors had a chance to visit the Martin Luther King, Jr., Center and National Monument, as well as the Carter Center.
