LawCats Live Book Talk featuring David Gantz
April 12, 2022
Please join us for a special LawCats Live hosted by the Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library and Alumni and Development for a Book Talk featuring David Gantz, Samuel M. Fegtly Professor Emeritus and Director Emeritus, International Economic Law and Policy Program, in conversation with Andrew Shepherd ('17), Associate Scholar and Deputy Director for Global Faculty. They will discuss Professor Gantz’s new book, An Introduction to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement: Understanding the New NAFTA.
The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a modified and modernized version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), will continue to govern most economic relationships in North America, including the more than $1.3 trillion in annual regional trade in goods and services, for the foreseeable future. This book provides a detailed analysis and critique of the provisions of the USMCA and the USMCA’s relation to NAFTA. It is designed to assist lawyers and non-lawyers alike, including law, economics and public policy scholars, business professionals and governmental officials who require an understanding of one of the world’s most economically and politically significant regional trade agreements.

The Huerta Scholarship was established in 2014 in honor of Judge Lawrence Huerta. Judge Huerta ('53), a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, was the first Native American to graduate from University of Arizona Law and be licensed to practice law in Arizona. Each year the Huerta Scholarship provides vital support to Native law students attending University of Arizona Law.
Join Professors Robert Williams and Francisco Calí Tzay and a group of inspiring Huerta Scholarship recipients for a special #GivingTuesday edition of LawCats Live to learn how your support of the Huerta Scholarship helps students realize their dreams of attending law school and learn about the global Indigenous advocacy work our students are engaged in.
