100 Ways International Law Shapes Our Lives

In anticipation of its 100th Annual Meeting, the ASIL has debuted an interactive project on its website called International Law: 100 Ways it Shapes Our Lives. I think it’s a great idea. We often get so caught up in the cynicism around hot political issues that we forget that international law is like an iceberg, we simply don’t see the vast majority of it unless we look for it. The ASIL’s project is a good reminder as to the full scope of international law.

And, while I’m mentioning the Annual Meeting in Washington DC, please remember to join us at the Opinio Juris Reception on Thursday evening, March 30th, from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm in the Longworth Room of the Fairmont Hotel, 2401 M Street, NW (the location of the Annual Meeting). There will be wine, cheese, and conversation on international law and blogging. We expect that bloggers from other law blogs will be joining us. Please note that you do not need to be registered for the ASIL Annual Meeting in order to attend this reception.
