Hosted by the American Society of International Law’s International Legal Theory Interest Group with support from the University of Baltimore School of Law, University of Nebraska College of Law, Boston College Law School, and University of La Verne College of Law, cordially invites you to attend a symposium on Distributive Justice and International Economic Law featuring:

Daniel Butt (Oxford), Jeff Dunoff (Temple/Harvard), Carol Gould (Temple),
Robert Hockett (Cornell), Aaron James (UC Irvine), Jan Klabbers (Helsinki),
Chin Leng Lim (Hong Kong), Kamal Saggi (Southern Methodist),
Barbara Stark (West Virginia) Fernando Tesón (Florida State),
Chantal Thomas (Cornell/Am. U. Cairo), Joel Trachtman (Tufts). 

The current struggle to conclude the WTO Doha Development Round is a reminder that justice is a powerful and complex idea. What is just, when, and under what circumstances justice is rendered are all key questions that must be answered in international law, as with any social institution. This symposium focuses on the role of distributive justice (e.g. questions about the fair allocation of primary goods under international economic law) and how international economic law may intrude upon the basic structure of domestic societies. The symposium seeks to explore this subject by examining its foundations, applications, and critiques.
