CREATING A GLOBAL CLASSROOM: DEVELOPING COLLABORATIVE LEGAL RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE U.S. AND NORTH MACEDONIA

Summary/Abstract: During the spring 2020 semester, students in Professor Judithanne McLauchlan’s U.S. Constitutional Law 2: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights course at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg joined together with students in Professor Jusuf Zejneli’s Constitutional Law course at the University of Tetova to conduct comparative legal research in teams. The students formed eight research groups, all of whom researched various topics comparing Civil Liberties in the U.S. and in Europe: A Comparison of Cases decided by the SCOTUS and the ECtHR. The authors will use analyses of anonymous student surveys, a qualitative review of the students’ written assignments and their observations of the students during the videoconferences and other interactions between the students from North Macedonia and the U.S. to evaluate the effects of incorporating this international experience into their courses.
