SUMMARY:
The Open World Rule of Law Program enables leading Russian judges to gain an
understanding of the American legal system through an in-depth orientation
in Washington, D.C., followed by a week-long working visit in a local
community as the guests of a federal judge.  The Rule of Law Exchange is
part of the Open World Program, which is sponsored by the independent Center
for Russia Leadership Development at the Library of Congress. American
Councils serves as the Open World's logistics and administrative contractor.

the Open World federal host judges.  Specific duties will include further

apprising key programmatic personnel of the locations for community visits;

organizations that provide the delegates' meals, lodgings, local
transportation, and cultural programming; and compiling and maintaining
spreadsheets with program data.  The Program Officer will also organize the
Washington, D.C. orientations and evaluate program materials and
participants' feedback.  The Program Officer may also assist federal judges
