Alumnus Appointed as New Mongolian Prime Minister

On November 21, 2014, Mongolia's parliament appointed Chimed Saikhanbileg, LLM '02, the 28th Prime Minister of Mongolia. He replaced Norov Altankhuyag who was removed earlier in November. According to his former GW Law professor, Associate Dean for International and Comparative Legal Studies Susan L. Karamanian, Chimed "was an active participant in class with a serious focus on government procurement law. He came to law school with a specific educational goal as he had already held positions in the Mongolian government."
