The delegation first visited Emory University in Atlanta, U.S., exchanging ideas on the cooperation between the two schools in the fields of law and humanities. Representative  from Emory University were Jim Hughes, dean of the School of Law; Phoebe Stevenson, vice-dean of the School of Law; and professor Michael Perry.
