Cuba is in transition. Isolated from its nearest neighbor, the United States, for years by Cold War politics, President Obama and President Castro have announced that a new era is dawning between the two republics only for President Trump to roll back the new era. 

  

In these surprising and exciting times, people to people exchanges offer great

opportunities to learn from each other, to enjoy each others cultures and to examine and implement the commercial, legal, economic, financial and educational changes that will move the two nations along the path to reconciliation through commerce, educational and cultural exchanges, and understandings.

 

This legal seminar will offer lawyers, judges, legal workers, students and all interested persons the chance to participate with their Cuban colleagues in discussions, debates and presentations about the state of the legal, educational, economic and financial structures of both nations and the changes that are taking place to help the United States and Cuba along the sometimes difficult path to peace.   

 

The seminar will also offer the astonishing and unique opportunity at this historic moment to foster the mutual respect between Cuba  and the Unites States necessary to make neighbors and friends out of former adversaries.

The seminar will be held at The Jose Marti Institute in Vedado, Havana. The class will feature talks and presentations by lawyers and professors from the University of Havana and will include trips to Courts, the Law School at the University of Havana, legal offices, and the Havana Bar Association.
