Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat will speak at Washington University School of Law on “The Arab Revolutions and Their Implications for U.S. Policy and the Middle East.”

During a decade and a half of public service in three U.S. administrations, Eizenstat has held a number of key senior positions, including chief White House domestic policy adviser to President Jimmy Carter (1977-1981); U.S. Ambassador to the European Union and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury in the Clinton Administration (1993-2001).

Following his address, Eizenstat will then deliver the 2011 Holocaust Remembrance Day Mini-Lecture, “Restitution for Holocaust Victims: A Study in Alternative Dispute Resolution.” He will draw on his experiences in the Clinton Administration as Special Representative of the President and Secretary of State on Holocaust-Era Issues. 

The events are sponsored by the Burson Fund, in coordination with the Washington University Jewish Law Society and JGrads: The Jewish Graduate Student Association of St. Louis.  Both events are free and open to the public, and will begin at noon Thursday, April 7 in the Bryan Cave Moot Courtroom at Washington University’s School of Law (Anheuser-Busch Hall, Room 310).
