The frenzied crisis on Wall Street that closed Leman Brothers and threatened to collapse banks, investors and key businesses across America quickly spread like a virus across the globe.

On April 9, scholars and practitioners of international law will describe measures undertaken by governments from Latin America to the Far East to respond to the crises in an all-day symposium at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law on East 18th and Euclid Avenue.
