On this final day of classes, I heard opening statement presentations at both the Kyiv International University, and the National Aviation University. At International, we were disappointed again in a very poor attendance, with only two students present on the final day of classes. Both of the students, Iegor Sierov and Helena, presented the opening statement. Later that evening, we had somewhat better attendance at the National Aviation University, where Helen and Marina presented for the Prosecution, and Ira, Katya and Ann for the Defense. Marina won the "Prosecution White Hat Award," and Ira won the "Bob Smith Black Cap Award." My impression of the students at the National Aviation University is very strong. There are a number of very diligent and intelligent young women in this law school who, with proper encouragement, might make very outstanding courtroom advocates.
And thus ends the twenty separate lecture segments of my two-week experience in Kyiv. It has been an absolute delight to work with so many bright and promising young people.
