2015 Law and Development Program & International Legislative Drafting Institute Program

The Law and Development Institute (LDI, www.lawanddevelopment.net) and Tulane University Law School�s Payson Center for International Development announce the launching of 2015 Law and Development Program (LDP). The Program will begin in May 2015 at Tulane University located in the City of New Orleans, USA, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world with rich cultural heritage.

The LDP offers a short-term professional training course in law and development for officials from both developing and developed countries, international organizations, and NGOs, as well as for other professionals and students interested in the role of law, legal frameworks and institutions (LFIs) for economic development.

Specifically, the LDP provides instruction on how LFIs affect economic development in key areas such as property rights, business transactions, and industrial promotion. The LDP will also provide guidance for pro-development legislation in the cited key areas, using the latest analytical model in the field, the Analytical Law and Development Model (ADM).

Currently no other program offers instructions on the role of LFIs on economic development in specific key areas. The Program will give invaluable practical value for participating professionals. The Program will be also offer an excellent overview of law and development for those who wish to learn this area.
