is through transnational law. Levit’s lecture pro- vided an informal discussion for students on the different avenues students might utilize through the law school curriculum of a career trajectory into the international law community. Dean Lev- it’s advice was not strictly compliant to the cur- riculum laid out in the international comparative law certificate, but rather using the certificate as a guideline for making a marketable transnational law student. Levit also encouraged students to utilize the main campus as a supplement to a stu- dent’s legal studies, especially foreign language courses making the student more attractive in a global economy.
On November 9, Professor Marianne Blair of the TU faculty spoke to students about international adoption and child trafficking. Professor Blair is the domestic and international comparative fam- ily law professor for the University of Tulsa and a strong advocate for children. Professor Blair’s discussion encompassed the terrible tactics used by orphanages, institutions, and adoption companies to remove children from their fami- lies and advertise them as orphans for some economic gain. Blair highlighted the horrifying conditions babies and children were subjected to while living in these orphanages and institu- tions in countries like Cambodia and Guatemala. These conditions have prompted an international interest into international adoption.
Blair moved on to discuss how the internation- al community is responding to stop adoptions made under these illegal conditions. She alluded to organizations like that of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) task division for investigation of international adoption agencies, as well as, a number of multi-country alliances geared towards the issues of international adop- tion and child trafficking. Professor Blair’s lecture was followed up with a brief Q&A session that allowed students to receive clarification and ex- pand upon certain areas of the human trafficking involved during international adoptions.

At our meet- ings discussing human rights, we have debated the amplification of those rights throughout the world – including Brazil – as well the philosophical approach of the universalism and relativism con- cepts and the clash of civilizations and cultures. The debate on the recognition of the minorities’ rights takes place at civil, academic and formal political spaces and has been a polemic issue in many countries, including ours. Respecting non western countries, the members of our chapter have diverse stands on the pressure the West has being made towards the other civilizations.
The second subject of international trade law in- volves the globalization process and the demand for international markets, causing, in the legal aspects, the multiplication of bilateral invest- ment treaties, which must be examined before the Constitution and the cost-benefit analysis to population.
