A few days ago I was invited by the Leavitt Institute to return to Ukraine. This year I will not only lecture at law schools in Kyiv but also in the cities of Kharkiv and Chernivtsi. I look forward to this new adventure with great joy and anticipation!
In 2007 I lectured at five law schools in Kyiv: the Academy of Advocates (Академії адвокатури України), the Vadym Hetman Kyiv National Economic University (Київський нацiональний економiчний унiверситет), Kyiv International University (Київський міжнародний університет), the National Aviation University (Національний авіаційний Університет), and the Economics and Law University (Університет Економіка та Права "КРОК"). In 2009 there will be several changes in the participating schools. This year the Leavitt Institute has expanded its University relationships to include Kharkiv National University (Харківський національний університет) in eastern Ukraine, and one university in Chernivtsi (the Chernivtsi National University--Чернівецький національний університет) in western Ukraine. In Kyiv the Leavitt Institute will continue its prior relationships with the National Economic University and the National Aviation University, and has formed a new connection with the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (Київський національний університет ім. Тараса Шевченка). In all, the Leavitt Institute instructors will be teaching in nine universities spread across three cities.
The current plan is for me to travel from November 7 through 21, according to the following schedule:
Saturday, November 7th: Leave Salt Lake City and fly to Kyiv.
Sunday, November 8th: Arrive in Kyiv in late morning, then catch another flight to Kharkiv later in the day.
Monday, November 9th: Teach one two-hour class in Kharkiv.
Tuesday, November 10th: Teach two two-hour classes in Kharkiv, then fly back to Kyiv at about 7:00 p.m.
Wednesday, November 11th: Arrive in Kyiv and teach one two-hour class.
Thursday, November 12th: Teach one two-hour class in Kyiv.
Friday, November 13th and Saturday, November 14th: Free days in Kyiv.
Sunday, November 15th: Catch a night train in Kyiv bound for Chernivtsi.
Monday, November 16th: Arrive in Chernivtsi at about 9:00 a.m.
Tuesday, November 17th: Teach a two-hour class in Chernivtsi, then catch another night train bound for Kyiv.
