SPER CHAIR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND TRADE LAW
MOVING FORWARD WITH SCHOLARSHIP, TEACHING AND EXPERIENTIAL
LEARNING
The “bicycle” or “Shark” theory of international trade law holds
that unless there is constant progress in promoting international
trade, conditions will regress or collapse. We believe that the
Asper Chair Program, now in its eighteen year, is moving swiftly
and efficiently in many dimensions including scholarship, teaching
programs and experiential learning for students. We are always,
however, constantly searching for and implementing new ideas.
In 2017-2018 our plans include further developing the Israel and
International Law Program, which we believe is already the most
widely attended overseas summer program for Canadian law students.
We hope to continue to enroll at least a third of each year’s first
year class in the program, and to increase attendance from other
law schools
across Canada, and to have our first participation from at least
a few practicing lawyers who take the course, in whole or in part,
as part of their continuing legal education.
The Asper Review of International Business and Trade Law is
currently ranked first in Canada among peer-reviewed international
trade law journals and seventh in the world (Washington and Lee
University annual survey). It is also ranked within the top ten of
all Canadian law journals, both general and specialized. The annual
INTLaw conference will continue to be a major generator of content
for the Review. This year’s edition’s themes will include “The
Sharing Economy” and “Secession movements in the
context of Regional Organizations such as the European
Union.”
Our scholarly endeavours will include initiating or completing
projects on the sharing economy, the demise of several supply
management systems in Canada – in comparison to the robust
persistence of our dairy marketing regime – and on cybersecurity
and the law.
Over the years, the Asper Chair has developed a number of new
courses: International Business Law, International Trade Law, the
Israel and International Law Program, participation in the Annual
the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, the
Asper Chair publications course, Internet and E-Commerce Law.
Looking ahead, we are beginning to exploring the possibility of
reshaping the International Business Law course so that it includes
an international travel component for students. For more
information Please email Bryan Schwartz, [email protected],
or phone 204-474-6142.

SPER CHAIR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND TRADE LAW
Canada’s only journal dedicated to international business and
trade law was inaugurated by Dr. Bryan Schwartz in 2000. Volume
XVII was launched at a special event held at Robson Hall on October
18, 2017, coined a ‘Mega’ book launch that celebrated the
publication of eight faculty-written and edited works of academic
legal writing and research.
The Washington and Lee University survey of law journals for
2017 ranked it eighth out of 61 Canadian Law Journals, and third
among 48 specialized law journals in Canada. Among four Canadian
law journals specializing in international law, the Asper review
ranked second. The Asper review was the top ranked
Canadian journal on international trade law. It is ranked
seventh in the world among peer-reviewed international trade law
journals. Professor Evaristus Oshionebo of the University of
Calgary joined Dr. Schwartz as co-editor in 2014.
The Journal benefits every year from the contributions of two
Canadian Credential Management Fellows who serve as senior editors.
To view full articles of the Asper Review, visit:
asper-chair.com/index.php/asper-review
Editorship of the Manitoba Law Journal was assumed by Professors
Darcy MacPherson and Bryan P. Schwartz in 2010. Over the years it
has often been a forum for publications about the application of
international business and trade law to Manitoba issues, such as
“democratizing the Regulation Making Process in Manitoba, Drawing
on National and International Best Practices”, 35 Manitoba Law
Journal 1 (2012).
A peer reviewed journal, the MLJ received for the first time in
2014, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
Grant in Aid of Scholarly Journals. The grant has just been
extended to 2018, and will amount to over one hundred thousand
dollars.
The MLJ has acquired a distinctive identity now as a home for
scholarship
that is relevant to our own Manitoba community. The MLJ has
gone, since Schwartz led its reformation, from publishing an
average of zero articles per year on Manitoba subjects to over
forty. At the same time, its content extensively draws on and
attempts to address issues of national and international
importance. A large part of Robson Hall’s faculty members have
published an article in the MLJ in recent years, and about one half
of all the articles produced each year by the faculty at the
University of Manitoba is carried in the Asper Review or the
MLJ.
At the October 18th ‘Mega’ book launch, MLJ Volumes 39 (1) and
(2) were officially launched, which focus on The Great Transition
in Legal Education. Volume 40 (3), launched at the same event, is a
first-ever
special edition of Criminal Law, that was guest-edited by Robson
Hall’s Criminal Law Research Cluster, known as ‘Robson Crim.’
Released at the same time was the annual Underneath the Golden Boy,
which focuses on legislative developments and democratic and
parliamentary reform.
In 2017 for the first time, the MLJ’s Volume 39(1), The Great
Transition in Legal Education, is available for free download at
Amazon.ca and Apple iBooks in e-book format.

LAW
Asper Chair Courses
Since it was founded in 1999, the Asper Chair program has led to
the creation of many new courses at Robson Hall. Initially these
included new courses in International Law and International
Business Law, followed by the additions of Scholarly Publications
(Asper Review) and International Trade Law. The Asper Chair program
is constantly striving to integrate teaching and scholarship. After
creating the Internet and E-Commerce course, for example, Dr.
Schwartz was commissioned by the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada
on the 2013 report on a Legal Framework for Electronic Voting. He
brought a talented third year student, Dan Grice, on board as
co-author, and the publication is now part of the readings in Dr.
Schwartz’ Legislative Process course as well as the Internet and
E-commerce course. Several dozen students have now served as
editors of the Asper Review, with many also achieving credit as
author or co-author of refereed articles in that publication.
The Israel and International Law Program (Mishpatim) from the
outset has a partnership between the Asper Chair and Hebrew
University of Jerusalem. Students attending can transfer four
credit hours to their Robson Hall program. Student response to the
program has been overwhelmingly positive. Below are excerpts from
comments by students who took part in the 2017 program:
“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from so many
people, and engage critically and objectively with the issues
Israel faces. The content of the course has influenced my opinions
on numerous issues, because it provided an unprecedented
opportunity to grasp the nuance and complexity of the issues Israel
grapples with.... Overall, the course itself was both enjoyable and
educational, and I would highly recommend it both to those who have
traveled to Israel in the past, and for those who have never been.”
- Sarah Levy, Robson Hall law student
“My experiences in this course were enriched by being physically
present in Israel. I have an interest in immigration and refugee
law, and through the course I was able to learn more about these
issues as they appear in the Israeli context. Also, three of my
dorm-mates were Israeli, one of whom happened to be a law student
at Hebrew University. They invited me and another classmate to
Shabbat dinner our first week in Israel. We also had conversations
that helped me learn about the experience of Israel from people who
were my own age. My time spent in Israel as part of the Mishpatim
course has been wonderful and unforgettable, so thank you again for
your support, without which this program would not be possible.” -
Segen Andemariam, Robson Hall law student.
“[This program] has significantly increased my understanding of
the issues and challenges that Israel has to deal with.... In
addition to gaining a more thorough and unbiased understanding of
Israel, it also helped me appreciate a number of things about life
in Canada (especially with Canada’s legal and political system)
while also revealed certain things
that Canada could improve upon, when compared to Israel. I
sincerely hope that those who support this program will continue to
do so, and continue to make it available to more and more students
in the future, so they can share in this very beneficial and
memorable experience.” - Erik Gusdal, Robson Hall law student
“Studying in Israel has broadened my horizons in ways I never
expected. To be honest, prior to this program, I knew next to
nothing about Israel, its history, culture, or the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Now that I have nearly completed the
program I realize how much more I have to learn. Even more valuable
than the time spent in lectures was the chance to mingle with
Israelis and visit prominent sites in Jerusalem and Israel. I will
never forget my time at the Hebrew University.” - Bethany Hutlet,
Robson Hall law student
“The course has surpassed my expectations as both a course and
an experience. I enjoyed learning about the complex history of
Israel, and field trips to the Supreme Court and the Knesset were
valuable additions to my learning. I also appreciated that the
course included fields trips to places like the dead sea. Those
trips ended up being educational in that we saw sides of Israel
that we may not have normally seen. In particular I want to
highlight how great an experience I had in Tel Aviv, visiting the
south side and learning about refugees from Africa who lived in
that area. I didn’t realize how difficult it was to have a refugee
claim processed here, and it was an eye opening experience learning
about some of the social issues that exist in such a metropolitan
city.” - Erin Wolfe, Robson Hall law student

conference.
SPER CHAIR IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND TRADE LAW
Feedback from the 3rd Annual Asper INTLaw ConferenceLetter from
Mario Bouchard, former Chair of the Copyright Board of Canada
Cher Bryan,
A word to thank you for inviting me to speak at the 3rd Annual
Asper INTLaw Conference. I really enjoyed the group and appreciated
the interaction with other participants. The format was dynamic and
constructive. All presentations were of a high caliber; I was
educated and entertained by the contributions of your colleagues
Evaristus Oshionebo and Darcy MacPherson and was impressed by Temi
Onifade and Reem Radhi. A great opportunity.
The activity was fast paced and intense. I look forward to
providing my written contribution for publication and to reading at
a somewhat less breakneck speed the contribution of all others.
Please convey my thanks to the sponsors for helping to make
possible what is clearly a winning formula and a winning
program.
Stay assured that I will gladly accept an invitation to
participate again in 2018 or the following years. I have retired
from the public service but not from intellectual life. A forum
such as this allows me to prevent ze little grey cells (Poirot
oblige) from congealing and to keep an appreciation of the high
quality of legal research that is ongoing in the real world.
Amitiés,
Mario Bouchard
