Virtual Guest Speakers Program 

---

Beginning in the Spring of 1998, Mercer University Law School has annually sponsored a "virtual" environmental law lecture series/discussion list over the Internet.   Several times during the semester, a guest speaker presents a "speech" on an environmental law topic, and participates on a discussion list with students and faculty from schools that are participating in the project.  The "speech" may be a text-only speech or interview, or it may be available in audio and text form (if it was presented live at one of the participating schools). The speech is then made available on a Web page that contains background information about the speaker(s), links to other information about the topic or the speaker, and a link to the discussion list for the project.  After the speech or interview is made available over the Internet for a few days, the speaker responds to questions or comments from students from all of the participating schools on a Web-based threaded discussion list.  The speaker responds to questions and comments for a week..  Students from the participating schools can continue the discussion on the topic on the discussion list (or discuss other topics of interest) even after the guest speaker concludes their participation on the list.
