Conference on International Law: What is Wrong with the Way We Teach and Write International Law A Joint AALS and American Society of International Law Conference, June 17-20, 2007, Vancouver, British Columbia

The world is moving so quickly – globalization of trade, terrorist attacks, global warming, preemptive invasions, international courts springing up around the globe – and the law necessarily changes to keep up with it. No one can keep abreast of the ever-evolving face of international law, much less pause and reflect on how these developments affect the way we teach and write about it. This is the first AALS Mid-Year Conference on Teaching International Law in 11 years. It will bring together teachers and scholars for three days of intensive discussion on how we teach and write about international law and where the field is heading. There will be plenary sessions, small group discussions, and paper presentations. The panelists, drawn from the most highly respected scholars in their various fields, will be around for the entire conference, enabling conversations to continue long after the formal discussions have ended. Panelists include Colin Dayan (Vanderbilt), Ronald Mitchell (Oregon), Sanjay Reddy ( Barnard) Jeremy Waldron (NYU), Chantal Thomas (Minnesota), Peter Trooboff (Covington & Burling), Marci Hoffman (California-Berkeley), Carlos Esposito (Madrid), Balakrishnan Rajagopa (MIT), Edith Brown Weiss (Georgetown), David Caron (UC Berkeley), Kenneth Anderson (American), Tom Ginsburg (Illinois), Ruth Gordon (Villanova), Richard Steinberg (UCLA), José Alvarez (Columbia), Judge Diane Wood (7th Circuit). Elizabeth Andersen (ASIL), Mark Drumbl (Washington & Lee), Katharina Pistor (Columbia), Mathias Reimann (Michigan), Diane Marie Amann (UC Davis), William Dodge (UC Hastings), Franklin Gevurtz (McJorge), Mathias Reimann (Michigan), Julia Ross (Georgetown), Susan Karamanian (George Washington), Dean Mary Daly (St. John’s), Laurel Fletcher (UC Berkeley), George Harris (McGeorge), William Dunlap (Quinnipiac), Antony Anghie (Utah), David Bederman (Emory), Thomas Franck (NYU), Mary Ellen O’Connell (Notre Dame), James Nafziger (Willamette), Dean of the Universe Harold Hongju Koh (Yale), and Stephen Toope (president, British Columbia). Those invited to present works in progress include Karen Bravo (Indiana-Indianapolis) and Hari Osofsky (Oregon).
