On August 19-24, 2019, The Department of Political Science hosted a group of Mexican mediators for a special course entitled “Collaborative Law, Victim-Offender Mediation, and Family Mediation in Texas.” During their stay, the mediators visited three Texas Dispute Resolution Centers, the Supreme Court of Texas, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, a juvenile detention center in Austin, and historic courthouses in San Marcos, Kerrville, and Fredricksburg. Dr. Walter Wright was the lead instructor for the course, and his Mexican counterpart was Mtra. Aracely Rojas, an adjunct professor at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, the Mexican university that co-sponsored the course.
