The university founded by former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide is opening a law school program.
University of San Francisco law professor Nicole Phillips will be among the new faculty members.
She says the four-year program at the University of Aristide Foundation will train about 150 students a year to become Haiti's next generation of lawyers. The first classes are scheduled to begin this fall.
