USAID Assists The Lebanese University Law Faculty

July 7, 2009

The USAID Mission Director Denise A. Herbol attended a press conference to announce the plan to strengthen the curriculum of the Lebanese University Faculty of Law on July 7, 2009.   The Lebanese Association for the Philosophy of Law will use USAID’s $47,164 grant to launch a campaign to introduce a legal philosophy course, “Jurisprudence/Philosophy of Law,” to the University curriculum. USAID support will broaden the scope of offered courses at the Faculty of Law. This grant is part of the $9 million Transparency and Accountability Grants program, implemented by AMIDEAST.  By working with civil society organizations throughout Lebanon, the U.S. Government is encouraging citizens to play an active role in the development of Lebanon. Deans, presidents and vice-presidents of Lebanese University and other Universities were present at the ceremony in addition to the Lebanese Ministry of Culture Director General and the State Council previous president.
