The news on the swine flu that began in Mexico changes hourly, it seems, as cases are confirmed in Texas and elsewhere, school districts cancel classes, people show up for work wearing medical masks, and travelers cancel business and education trips to Mexico.
At a time when Texas law students face a bleak future due to employment cuts at firms, a group of students from Texas Tech University School of Law in Lubbock may not be able to go to Mexico as planned next month for a four-week study program at the University of Guanajuato Law School. Jorge Ramirez, a professor at the law school who also is director of international programs, says the school will wait a week or so before deciding whether the 20 law students will get to go to the Summer Law Institute or have to stay home because of the flu.
