...cyberspace. LJIL is now available on Westlaw and its readership extends well beyond the borders of Europe. It is also taking the lead, with other European journals, in trying to define a coherent policy in relation to free online repositories such as SSRN. And finally, this first online symposium in collaboration with Opinio Juris marks LJIL’s discovery of the world of online blogging. Larissa’s editorial discusses the possible interaction between traditional legal scholarship and expert blogging, issues debated last year by LJIL’s other Editor-in-Chief, Jean d’Aspremont and myself (see here...08 Oct Quotable Quotes from the Fordham Law Review Symposium
Along with Julian, I had the good fortune to participate in a symposium last week at Fordham Law School on “International Law and The Constitution: Terms of Engagement.” Details about the symposium are available here. The Fordham Law Review will devote a symposium issue to the conference in the near future. Here are a few quotes from the symposium: The strongest response that can be made to those who challenge violations of the laws of war by the Bush Administration is that these same voices were silent when the laws...29 Mar Symposium: Osofsky Reply to Knox
[Hari Osofsky is Assistant Professor of Law at University of Oregon and a contributor to the Opinio Juris On-Line Symposium. She blogs regularly at IntLawGrrls] I would like to begin by thanking the Opinio Juris bloggers for their hard work in conceptualizing and organizing their inaugural on-line symposium. I very much appreciate the opportunity to participate in it, as well as John Knox’s thoughtful reaction to my piece. This dialogue is a wonderful opportunity for junior scholars to get feedback on their work, and I am certain that my piece...30 Jun Chicago Journal of International Law Symposium on Great Power Politics

[Vik Kanwar is a JSD candidate at NYU, a Westerfield Fellow at Loyola New Orleans College of Law and a contributor to the Opinio Juris On-line Symposium] My sincere thanks to Professor Sean D. Murphy for his careful reading of my paper, for his clear exposition of the challenging context in which it is written, and for confirming in my mind the need for further (and more critical) study on this topic. His comments are especially helpful in separating what might be valuable and worth retaining from what might be...19 Jun CfP: OJ Symposium on Virtual Learning and Critical Pedagogy

...defer to States’ motives, proportionality, fairness, and legitimacy in exercising regulatory authority and have found for the Respondent State. The relative—though far from perfect, as will be explored in some of the symposium contributions—efficacy of the current investment law regime will therefore likely have a prominent role in how States and the international community navigate the future financial crises and their ramifications. The Contributions In this symposium with Opinio Juris, the convenors aim to generate a dialogue among leading investment arbitration scholars and practitioners reflecting on the Report’s findings and...19 Jan International Law in the Asian Century: Conclusion to Opinio Juris and EJIL:Talk! Mini-Symposium
...esteemed scholars and practitioners were willing to take part in this joint Opinio Juris and EJIL:Talk! symposium and offer their responses to arguments put forward in my article for the current issue of EJIL, giving me and other readers refinements and additions that will enrich the larger conversation of which this symposium is a part. The six commentators raise many issues, which I will address under three broad headings of power, history, and method. Each also brings to their paper a certain optimism or pessimism about what the future may...
