Welcome to Guest Blogger Eugene Kontorovich

As Ken notes below in his birthday greetings, Opinio Juris is pleased to welcome back Professor Eugene Kontorovich, of Northwestern University Law School, as a guest blogger for the next week.  Professor Kontorovich has done a lot of writing and thinking about legal and policy responses to piracy as well as a range of other private and public international law topics.  His SSRN page is here.  We look forward to his commentary and discussion with our readers– oh, and again wish him a very happy birthday!
