Abstract: Introduction: A Model Exchange ProgramThe year 2008 marked the 25th anniversary of the remarkably successful exchange program between the University of Minnesota Law School and the Uppsala University Law Faculty.The two schools have much to celebrate: 55 faculty members and 497 students 1 from the two universities have participated in the program, producing significant collaborative international scholarship and broad international education as a result.In addition, the exchange has involved library resources and alumni of both schools.Other law schools planning to develop exchange relationships would do well to model their programs on the Minnesota-Uppsala experience.This Article proceeds in four parts.First, the Article tracks the origins and development of the Minnesota-Uppsala relationship.Next, the Article discusses the details of establishing the faculty exchange agreement.The third part reviews the development of the student exchange program.And the Article concludes with a discussion of two other categories of exchange-library and alumni-and the benefits that each provides.Key to the success of the Minnesota-Uppsala exchange program is that it involved all four of those constituencies.
