International Law Seminar

3 credits · Law School

The International Law Seminar offers students a rigorous platform for understanding the theory and practice of international law. The course is organized around 6-7 outside speakers who will present original scholarly works over the course of the semester on a diverse range of international law topics. Two class sessions will be devoted to each scholarly work. In one session, the outside speaker will present an article or working paper. Students will prepare a written response paper, which will be provided to the outside speaker, and will also be expected to participate in the discussion of the article or working paper. In the second sessions, the instructor will lead a discussion of the legal issues raised by the article or working paper. Students will be expected to do background reading on the underlying issue.
