In Spring 2008, under the direction of Professor Leila Sadat, Director, the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute of Washington University School of Law embarked upon a project to study the need for a comprehensive convention on crimes against humanity, analyze the necessary elements of such a convention, and draft a proposed treaty. This "Crimes Against Humanity Initiative" will take place in four phases, over a period of three years, as follows:

• Phase I. Preparation of the project and methodological development, including the formation of a project Steering Committee;
• Phase II. Private study of the project through the commission of working papers by leading experts, the convening of expert meetings, and collaborative discussion of draft treaty language at expert meetings held in St. Louis, Missouri and The Hague;
• Phase III. Public discussion of the project and presentation of the draft convention at a global conference to be convened in Washington, D.C. in March 2010; and
• Phase IV. Widening consultations with the appropriate academic and diplomatic communities as well as civil society, leading to publication and promotion of the draft treaty. This phase will begin during the Fall of 2009 and continue through the completion of the Regional Conferences to be held in connection with the Initiative as part of a global awareness campaign focusing on the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity.

The Initiative is led by a Steering Committee, chaired by Professor Leila Nadya Sadat, and consists of:

• Leila Nadya Sadat, chair, and the Henry H. Oberschelp Professor of Law and director of the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute, Washington University Law;
• M. Cherif Bassiouni, the Distinguished Research Professor of Law and president emeritus, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University;
• Ambassador Hans Corell, former United Nations Under-Secretary for Legal Affairs;
• Justice Richard Goldstone, former justice of the South African Constitutional Court and former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia;
• Juan Méndez, former president of the International Center for Transitional Justice and the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights;
• William Schabas, director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights of the National University of Ireland, Galway; and
• Judge Christine Van Den Wyngaert, of the International Criminal Court.

During Phase II, forty-six experts gathered at Washington University School of Law for the first public meeting of the Crimes Against Humanity Initiative on April 13-15, 2009. The agenda featured fourteen commissioned papers each of which addressed a particular aspect of the law and practice relating to crimes against humanity. Additionally, a preliminary draft treaty was presented and debated. On June 11-12, 2009, fifty-eight experts gathered in The Hague for the intersessional meeting of the Crimes Against Humanity Initiative. The agenda featured three panel discussions addressing the need for a comprehensive convention on crimes against humanity, the relationship between such a convention and the International Criminal Court, and enforcement issues. A revised draft treaty incorporating the input of experts from the first public meeting in St. Louis was presented and discussed. Based upon the significant substantive input from the experts gathered in The Hague, the draft treaty was revised, and further refinement was provided during a small gathering of experts in St. Louis on August 21-23, 2009.

In addition to other public outreach efforts, the expert papers, the draft treaty, and a commentary to the draft treaty will be published by Cambridge University Press. Given the tremendous interest in the Initiative and its goals, it is expected that the Initiative's publications will be widely disseminated and discussed.

The Initiative is a project of the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute at the Washington University School of Law, and is being funded by a gift from Washington University in St. Louis alumnus Steven Cash Nickerson, and the United States Institute of Peace.

Profile of some of the Washington & Lee Law Faculty with international law interests

Professor Rick Kirgis continues to write book reviews for the American Journal of International Law. He remains on its Board of Editors, as an Honorary (i.e. emeritus) Editor. He continues to serve on the Executive Committee and Executive Council of the American Society of International Law, and also as ASIL Secretary and its historian.

In the academic year 2009-2010, Professor Kirgis will be teaching a section of the newly required first-year course in Transnational Law, using original materials that he is preparing this summer as well as some materials prepared by others. The other section will be taught by Professor Mark Drumbl, who also has prepared a set of materials for this exciting new initiative. Transnational Law introduces first-year students to core principles of public international law, comparative law, and the extraterritorial reach of domestic law. Professor Drumbl currently is working on a new book-length project on the intersection between child soldiers and international criminal law. In addition to the mandatory Transnational Law Course, he also teaches in international criminal law and transitional justice at the law school.

Professor Susan D. Franck will be teaching International Litigation and Arbitration. Professor Franck’s course is designed to familiarize students with the special substantive and procedural issues that arise in international commercial disputes and help students understand the commercial implications of working with other legal systems and cultures. This course addresses issues that U.S. courts face when international disputes arise, including core issues related to jurisdiction, foreign evidence gathering, choice of forum, the act of state doctrine and sovereign immunity; it considers similar issues related to arbitration and evaluates the effectiveness of different methods for resolving international commercial disputes. Professor Franck’s scholarship explores international economic law and dispute resolution. It uses, amongst other methods, an empirical approach to analyze international investment conflict, particularly disputes arising under investment treaties, and make normative observations about the future of international economic law. Her most recent work on development and outcomes of investment treaty arbitration is featured in the Harvard International Law Journal.

Professor Johanna Bond will be teaching a practicum in international human rights law in the fall 2009. The course will engage students in international human rights fact-finding, involving extensive documentation of a human rights problem, analysis of the government’s response to the problem, and an assessment of the government’s obligations under national and international human rights law. This project, which is envisioned as a collaboration between a Tanzanian NGO called the Women’s Legal Aid Center and law students and faculty from Washington and Lee, will contribute to legal advocacy on issues related to sexual violence in Tanzania. The project will involve a fact-finding investigation followed by the production of a human rights report that will be used by local NGOs as a tool for law reform and advocacy. Professor Bond’s most recent scholarship includes a contribution to a book on African customary law, entitled, The Future of African Customary Law (forthcoming Cambridge University Press) and an article entitled Gender, Discourse, and Customary Law in Africa.

Professor Christopher Bruner joined Washington and Lee as an Associate Professor in 2009. His teaching and scholarship focus on corporate law and securities regulation, including international and comparative dimensions of these subjects. Professor Bruner’s articles have appeared in a variety of law and policy journals, including the Alabama Law Review, the Wake Forest Law Review, the NYU Journal of International Law and Politics, the Michigan Journal of International Law, and the Journal of Public Policy (Cambridge University Press). As a Research Associate at Harvard Business School, he co-authored a number of case studies and technical notes on U.S. and international legal issues published by Harvard Business School Publishing. Professor Bruner has presented his scholarship in Denmark, Mexico, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and conducted comparative research on U.S. and U.K. corporate governance as a Visitor to the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge.

International Law Programs at The University of Tulsa College of Law

Students at The University of Tulsa College of Law have an opportunity to study international and comparative law with internationally recognized faculty. Through a wide array of course offerings, as well as diverse menu of study abroad and internship programs, TU law students become poised to effectively practice law within the increasingly globalized economy.

All law students have the opportunity to participate in summer study abroad programs in locations such as Ireland, Switzerland, Argentina, and China, along with a fall program in London. Through these study abroad programs, students can learn about different legal systems and international law from distinguished professors representing many cultures. Students may even serve as interns in the Dublin program or work in clinical placements in London, experiencing a hands-on approach to different legal systems while working with barristers and solicitors in public and private agencies and in private practice.

The TU College of Law also offers a certificate program that allows students a chance to specialize in the areas of international and comparative law, thus demonstrating their commitment to this field to prospective employers.

Legal practitioners from other countries are invited to take advantage of our resources through a masters' program for foreign lawyers who wish to study U.S. legal systems. We expect these lawyers will interact with our own Tulsa students, thus providing our students a chance to spend time with attorneys from different legal cultures. For further information on this LL.M. program, contact Larry Curtis at larry-curtis@utulsa.edu.

In addition, TU sponsors a chapter of the International Law Students Association. We also periodically bring prominent speakers in the areas of comparative and international law to the law school.

The Law School of the University of Geneva offers a truly international experience for its students. Situated at the hub of many of the world's international organizations in a picturesque setting at the foot of the Alps, Geneva is an international lawyer's paradise. The University celebrates its 450th anniversary this year.

The Law School offers two English-language Masters in Advanced Studies (MAS) in cooperation with the Geneva Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies:

The Geneva Master in International Dispute Settlement (MIDS) provides the opportunity for in-depth study of all aspects of dispute settlement in the international arena, across the public-private divide. In addition to special courses and seminars given by experts and practitioners from the Graduate Institute and elsewhere (such as Marcelo Kohen and Brigitte Stern), courses by internationally-renowned University of Geneva Law School faculty include a general course on the Organization of International Dispute Settlement given by Laurence Boisson de Chazournes and Gabrielle Kaufmann-Kohler.

The MAS/LLM in International Humanitarian Law offered by the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights covers the principal areas of international law related to armed conflicts.

Building on a tradition that dates to its founding four decades ago, the University of California, Davis, School of Law, under the leadership of Dean Kevin R. Johnson, an ASIL member, has launched the California International Law Center at King Hall, http://www.law.ucdavis.edu/cilc/. CILC (pronounced “silk”) fosters the international, comparative, and transnational work of faculty, students, and alumni, with particular focus on California’s role as a global actor.

In keeping with this mission, CILC (pronounced “silk”) sponsors a speakers’ series and supports law school events. Examples:

– Fenwick & West-sponsored TESLAW symposium, “CleanTech in the New ‘Environmental’ Environment,” on November 6, 2009, http://www.law.ucdavis.edu/news/events/fenwickwest/cleantech-home.html; and

– Law Review symposium, “The Asian Century?”, on February 26, 2010, http://lawreview.law.ucdavis.edu/index.php, organized by Professor Anupam Chander, a member of the ASIL Annual Meeting Program Committee.

Also key are partnerships:

– As an Academic Partner of the American Society of International Law, CILC hosted the Second Annual Northern California International Law Scholars Roundtable, on September 11, 2009. Earlier, the law school had helped host the California Leadership Tour of ASIL President Lucy Reed and Executive Director Betsy Andersen. ASIL-West, for which Professor Andrea K. Bjorklund serves as a Co-Chair, cosponsored both events.

– CILC and the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights are partners in a Darfur Project on transitional justice, part of RFK’s regional approach to conflicts in the Sudan-Chad region.

Affiliated with the center are the law school’s clinics on civil rights, family protection, immigration, and prison law; student organizations and the Journal of International Law & Policy, and a number of LL.M, foreign exchange, visiting scholars, and summer programs.

CILC Director is Professor Diane Marie Amann, a Vice President of the American Society of International Law and Chair of the Section on International Law of the Association of American Law Schools. The inaugural CILC Fellow is Kathleen A. Doty ’08, member of a Jessup Moot Court team that advanced to international rounds in Washington, D.C., and, most recently, law clerk to the Honorable Alexa D.M. Fujise, Hawai’i Intermediate Court of Appeals.

Inspiring us is the law school’s namesake, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the 1964 Nobel Peace Prizewinner who posed this question:

As we move to make justice a reality on the international scale, as we move to make justice a reality in this nation, how will the struggle be waged?

Overview

The Stanford Program in International Law has undergone tremendous expansion in recent years to keep pace with the rapid growth of global interdependence. The program is founded on the premise that law is a living body of rules and norms that both reflects and shapes the behavior of people, governments, and organizations worldwide. At Stanford, we believe world-class legal scholarship and real-world developments must go hand in hand.

Our international law program blends the benefits of an accessible, dedicated intellectual community with the formidable resources of Stanford University, including interdisciplinary programs and research centers focused on an array of international issues. In addition to addressing the foundations of the international legal order, our comprehensive curriculum explores the dramatic changes in the transnational business environment, evolving global lawmaking and international judicial processes, and questions of global justice. Our faculty members have produced cutting-edge research on international trade, transnational crime, nonproliferation, refugee law, international criminal tribunals, human rights, comparative law, international conflict resolution, presidential powers in the struggle against terrorism, and the use of force, among other topics. They bring in-depth experience to their groundbreaking, policy-shaping research and are deeply committed to mentoring students. And dozens of Stanford Law events every year bring together faculty, students, graduate fellows, lawyers, policymakers, leaders of multinational corporations, NGOs, and many others to explore key issues in international legal practice.

Curriculum

Stanford is the smallest of the country's leading law schools, with an enrollment of only 180 students per class. Nevertheless, we offer an extensive international and comparative law curriculum, the breadth of which is matched only by its excellence. During Academic Year 2009-2010, for example, Stanford will offer approximately 25 international and comparative law courses, ranging from introductory international and foreign relations law courses to more specialized public law courses in human rights law, transitional justice, climate change, international state-building, and terrorism; from international economic law courses in international trade policy and international development to courses in transnational legal practice areas like international arbitration, international dealmaking, international tax, and international intellectual property; from area studies courses like European Union law, Latin American law, and Chinese law and business to courses in international conflict resolution and international negotiation.

Faculty

The interests of Stanford Law faculty members reflect the broad scope of the field of international law - international security, trade, criminal law, business, environmental law, human rights, conflict resolution, development, intellectual property, the foreign policymaking process, and the rule of law - making Stanford Law an intellectual community as diverse and complex as the world its graduates enter.

Stanford faculty members approach international law not just as a subject for academic inquiry but also as a force for change in the world. They understand how law operates in relation to governments, international organizations, and the global economy because they have practiced international law themselves. Our international law faculty members have worked for international tribunals and advised federal agencies seeking to disrupt transnational criminal finance. They have served as lawyers in the U.S. Department of State and litigated terrorism cases before the Supreme Court of the United States. Our professors who teach international dealmaking and arbitration have completed complex international transactions and litigated disputes over international agreements. And so on. Most important, Stanford Law faculty members are dedicated educators who embrace their role as mentors to the next generation of international law scholars and practitioners. The experience of our faculty and their commitment to education make them uniquely qualified to instruct students in how law operates in the global arena.

LUISS Guido Carli (Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali) is a private Italian university located close to Rome's historic centre, in one of the city's most beautiful areas. The University offers a variety of programmes held in Italian, plus an increasing number of courses in English, making it accessible to students from all over the world. Thanks to its affiliation with "Confindustria", i.e. the Italian Industrialists' Confederation, the University has close ties to the country's industrial concerns, most of which operate internationally as well. In the more than forty years since its founding in 1966, LUISS Guido Carli University has thus played a key role in Italy's economic and cultural development. Not only has it trained world-class leaders sensitive to the values of market culture and the rules of a modern democracy, but it has also made important academic contributions in the fields of international law, EU law, business law and industrial relations law. Beside LUISS permanent faculty consisting of distinguished Italian and foreign professors, who are also successful professionals, lawyers and consultant, LUISS welcomes renowned professors who hold courses and lectures on a visiting basis as well as professors who will be employed by LUISS on a longer term basis. Furthermore, in addition to a wide range of facilities offered to LUISS students (university canteen, bookstore, coffee shop, etc.) international students also benefit from services designed to enable them to make a smooth transition to life in Rome.

A dedicated member of the University's administrative staff is at students' disposal to assist in all matters related to their stay in Rome, whether it is prior to their arrival (e.g. guidance on diplomatic procedures) or during their stay in Italy (e.g. help in administrative formalities). Complementary Italian courses are offered to international students throughout the year, which will provide them with a basic knowledge of the local language and facilitate communication with persons outside the university campus.

EU and non-EU foreign students, as well as Italian citizens that reside abroad and attend a foreign university, can take one or more single courses at LUISS Guido Carli. Courses can last one or two semesters, and upon completion students will receive a certificate of studies. Students that successfully pass the final course exam can transfer the course credits according to the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS).

Center for Transnational Legal Studies (CTLS). Upper level students have the opportunity to study at the new Center for Transnational Legal Studies in London. Georgetown students study transnational legal topics alongside classmates drawn from over a dozen select partner schools, located in almost as many countries around the globe. A truly transnational faculty, drawn from many of the same schools, offers a curriculum specifically designed for those students intent on transnational careers.

The program offers access to a special curriculum as well as invited speakers and networking opportunities. Participation is limited to a select group of students who have a demonstrated commitment to the international sphere and who are interested in intensive preparation for the increasingly global nature of law practice, in the United States and abroad.

DUKE CENTER FOR INTERNATIONAL AND COMPARATIVE LAW WELCOMES PROFESSOR LARRY HELFER AS CO-DIRECTOR, PLANS FULL SCHEDULE FOR 2009-2010

Laurence R. Helfer has joined the Duke University School of Law as the Harry R. Chadwick Sr., Professor of Law and co-director of the Duke Center for International and Comparative Law. Previously a professor of law and director of the International Legal Studies Program at Vanderbilt Law School, Helfer is an expert in international law whose scholarly interests include interdisciplinary analysis of international law and institutions, human rights, and international intellectual property law and policy.

Under the co-direction of Helfer and Duke Law Professor Curtis A. Bradley, the Richard A. Horvitz Professor of Law and Professor of Public Policy Studies, Duke's Center for International and Comparative Law is developing a full schedule of programs, conferences, and workshops for the 2009-2010 academic year. The Center is hosting a variety of public lectures and scholarship roundtables, and is co-sponsoring several student-organized conferences.

The Center also sponsors the Global Law Workshop, an upper-level seminar in which students and faculty join together in discussing cutting-edge issues of international law and legal theory. In the Fall 2009 Semester, Professors Bradley and Helfer, together with Duke Law Professor Deborah DeMott, will co-teach "Transnational Regulation of Stolen Art and Cultural Property." The workshop will focus on disputes relating to the ownership and recovery of art and cultural property, ranging from Nazi era expropriations to long-standing debates about the presence of the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum. The theme of the Spring 2010 Global Law Workshop, co-taught by Professors Bradley and Helfer, will be "The Law and Politics of International Cooperation."

SHAPING COMPARATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY AND A HALF

Founded in 1858, Columbia Law School, now in its 151st year, offers a legacy of achievement, innovation, and leadership that has shaped national and world events and continues to drive the advancement of law in a global society.

Today, our curriculum offers students an extraordinary selection of international and comparative law courses of any U.S. law school. The curriculum spans public, private, and comparative international law and prepares students to navigate the intersection of public and private law, with a strong focus on established and emerging governing bodies at both regional and global levels.

Many courses are interdisciplinary, combining forces with the schools of Columbia University. Other opportunities include externships made possible through our relationship with New York City, as well as semester-abroad and double-degree programs.

In a typical year, students can choose from more than 70 courses, clinics, and seminars, some of which are listed below. For a full listing, please visit our online curriculum guide.

THE CURRICULUM: UNPARALLELED IN BREADTH AND DEPTH

Global Constitutionalism
This course compares a variety of proposals aimed to promote world order, from traditional concepts of the balance of power among independent states to contemporary models of compliance with international law, global governance networks, and global democratization. The course assesses the merits and limitations of these visions of world order and explores the underlying principles of international ethics and institutional design that characterize efforts to promote global rules.

International and Comparative Criminal Law
This course introduces students to international criminal law, including the problems of jurisdiction, extradition, and the role of international criminal courts. Issues of criminal responsibility for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity are analyzed, and the philosophical and legal foundations of international criminal liability are explored.

Terror and Consent
The world didn't change on September 11, 2001. The ensuing Wars on Terror are the successor conflict to the Long War of the 20th century that ended in 1990. The Wars on Terror embrace three distinct but related struggles: to prevent market state terrorism, protect against gross diminution of human conditions, and preempt the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The outcome of these wars will determine whether the new emerging constitutional order of the market state will be composed of states of consent or states of terror.

Transnational Litigation and Arbitration
This course equips students to make strategic decisions in the structuring of dispute resolutions involving international transactions. The first part focuses on access to U.S. courts by foreign litigants, while the second part examines the procedural aspects of international commercial arbitration and the relationship between arbitral tribunals and courts.

Seminar: Labor Rights in a Global Economy
Who are the winners and losers in the global economy? What is the relationship between labor rights and economic development? Can we design regulatory institutions to enhance democracy, equality, and compliance with labor rights at the domestic, regional, and international levels? Students explore these questions through a variety of topics, including comparative models of labor law labor rights and trading systems; multinational corporations and codes of conduct; and cross-border networks of labor migration and trafficking.

REGIONAL FOCUS
Students who wish to concentrate their study on a particular country or region may take advantage of courses that provide in-depth focus, including:

• African Law and Development
• European Union Law and Institutions
• European Corporate Law & Securities Regulation
• International Business Transactions in Latin America
• Japanese Law and Legal Institutions
• Law in Emerging Markets: Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States
• Law and Legal Institutions in China
