Salzburg Seminar
Seeks Irish Fellows
The Salzburg Seminar in American Studies, which in its
1984 programme has two sessions of interest to lawyers, is
seeking to attract more Irish Fellows. The number oflrish
participants in the earlier years of the Seminar's operation
was quite significant, but has dwindled to two in the 1983
Seminars.
The Salzburg Seminar is a private, independent, non-
profit education organisation, which was established in
1947 by students at Harvard University; it was sponsored
initially by the Harvard Student Council. It now has its
own Board of Directors, with both a European Advisory
Council, composed mostly of alumni of the Seminar, as
well as a Business Advisory Council. All of its sessions are
held at Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg.
The purpose of the Salzburg Seminar is the study, at the
highest level, of contemporary issues of worldwide scope,
as well as of significant aspects of American society. It
provides a unique forum for the frank exchange of ideas
and informed opinion. It offers to non-Americans
practical, as well as theoretical insights into developments
in the United States at the same time as it familiarises
American participants with the ideas and attitudes of
those from other countries.
In 1984, the Seminar offers ten sessions, lasting nine
days, each on a different subject and each with a different
faculty and group of Fellows. The Fellows the Seminar
brings together are people of prominence or promise in
their fields. They come primarily from western Europe,
eastern Europe, North America and from developing
countries, with special emphasis on the Middle East.
Usually, forty to fifty men and women are selected for
each session. They are chosen to reflect a diversity of
professional viewpoints and experiences. Most Fellows
are in their 30s, though some are younger, some older.
They work with a distinguished international faculty, all
of whom serve without monetary compensation.
The sessions usually include a series of lectures,
presented by each of the faculty members and attended by
all Fellows. These lectures are followed by questions and
discussion. In addition, each Fellow participates in a
more specialized small group seminar, in which about a
dozen Fellows meet at least twice a week with an
individual faculty member for intensive work on a
particular aspect of the topic. All Fellows are expected to
make oral or written contributions to these seminar
groups. Since all Fellows and faculty members work, live,
and dine together at Schloss Leopoldskron, the
opportunity for continuous intormal exchange of ideas
and information and for the building of professional
contacts and long-lasting personal friendships is
unlimited.
There are now over 11.000 former Fellows of the
Salzburg Seminar, including current prime ministers,
members of cabinets and parliaments, ambassadors,
mayors of major cities, and leaders in the arts, business,
education and the legal and medical professions. Many
former Fellows return to Salzburg from time to time for
reunions and conferences, or to serve as faculty members
or guest lecturers.
For the session on "American Law and Legal Institu-
tions" to be held between July 1st and 20th, 1984, the
faculty will include the Chief Justice of the United States,
Warren E. Burger, Professors Geoffrey C. Hazard of Yale
Law School, Robert H. Mundheim of University of
Pennsylvania Law School and Terrance Sandalow of the
University of (rfitchan Law School. The session "Legal
Aspects of New Technologies" held between August 26th
to September 8th will have in the Faculty Nicholas
Kazenbach, former U.S. Attorney General, and Professor
Harold Scott of the Harvard Law School. The fees for
participation, which include all accommodation, arc
40,000 Austrian schillings for a three-week session and
30,000 Austrian schillings for a two-week session.
Scholarship assistance may be available to participants
from funds available to the Seminar. Further information
