\"chiloeOn Wednesday, the Chilean students began their day with Professor Irene Calboli, who spoke to them about the experience of being trained in a civil law tradition only then to work in a common law system.\u00a0 \u00a0The students also discovered a common interest in patent law and the conversation soon turned to that topic.<\/p>\n

The Hurtado students then met individually with professors on their research topics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Professor Paul Secunda met with Fernanda Gajardo on labor law; Professor Alan Madry met with Andrea Cerda on eminent domain; Professor Louise Cainker met with Diego Aguilar on multiculturalism).\u00a0 According to Professor Secunda,\u00a0 \u201cIt was a wonderful meeting with Fernanda on labor and employment law. It went so well that we are meeting again at 11 am today.\u201d\u00a0 The Hurtado students informed me the interviews were key to their research agendas.<\/p>\n

At lunch, while the Hurtado faculty joined with members of our own faculty at the Lunda room, the students attended a brown bag with MULS students, an event co-sponsored by the Labor & Employment Law Society.\u00a0\u00a0 Present were leaders from various MULS student groups, including the Student Bar Association, Hispanic Students Law Association, Public Interest Law Society, Hablando del Derecho, American Constitutional Society for Law and Public Policy, and Saint Thomas More Society.\u00a0\u00a0 In Eisenberg Hall, they sat around the large tables and introduced themselves. Professor Paul Secunda observed,\u00a0\u201cIt went really well. Lots of laughing and camaraderie.\u00a0 The students stood up and introduced themselves and talked of their various organizations. Although we had translators, what was great was that many of our student leaders used their Spanish to introduce themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the afternoon, we were joined by Distinguished Professor and Director of the MULS Restorative Justice Initiative, Janine Geske and headed to the South Side of Milwaukee in an MU athletic van.\u00a0 At the Kosciusko Community Center, we met with Paulina de Haan, co-coordinator of the Safe Streets Program<\/a>, who had convened a circle of community members:\u00a0 parole officers, offenders who recently finished their prison terms, and policemen.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Professor Geske first gave an overview of the theory of circles, which emphasizes the idea that we all belong to the same community and that alternative processes can help reconcile differences.\u00a0 Ms. de Haan then instructed us that\u00a0 we could only talk when he held the “talking piece” (a carved stone).\u00a0 This practice helped us learn how to listen when we were without the piece.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All of us shared our definition of community; the experience of being Latino in the United States and in Chile (and, in my case, of living in both cultures); and finally how crime and violence have impacted our own lives.\u00a0 The students were completely stunned to watch the two policemen sit next to the offenders, and impressed by the approachable and caring demeanor of the law enforcement agents.\u00a0 Chilean Professor Pablo Contreras explained, \u201cOur police are not like that.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The experience greatly affected the delegation, which has begun to contemplate ways of bringing the techniques to\u00a0its own country.<\/p>\n

In the evening, Professor Jay Grenig hosted the delegation in his home in Delafield, stuffing us with his home-cooked, Wisconsin-style\u00a0BBQ and sharing local eating delights like brats and Wisconsin cheese.\u00a0\u00a0 Also in attendance were MULS students, who presented a gift to the Hurtado delegation of a framed photo of our\u00a0namesake Pere Marquette.\u00a0\u00a0 As Professor Grenig remarked, \u201cIt was one of the liveliest parties at our house.\u201d\u00a0 Indeed, the Chileans and the Americans enjoyed conversations in Spanish and English as they munched on homemade foods.\u00a0 The highlight was making sundaes with Professor Grenig\u2019s homemade ice cream.<\/p>\n
