Search: Affective Justice: Book Symposium: A Response
30 Nov Congratulations to Vicki Jackson on her Constitutional Comparativism Book
discussion and reception for the book tomorrow, December 1, and I take it that through some email list glitches, numbers of people (including me) did not get alerted. Although, alas, I have to teach last week of classes during the event tomorrow, I don’t think Vicki would mind my announcing the event – there’s a rsvp email at the bottom: Tuesday, December 1, starting at 3:30, on the 12th floor of the Gewirz center on the Georgetown Law campus, 600 New Jersey Ave., N.W., Washington D.C. The book party will...28 Jul Wittes’ Law and the Long War: International Law Goes Missing
should have had article 5 tribunals to establish their non-POW status), but only as a static quantity that has to be navigated. In other words, the book looks at international law as an obstacle rather than as a tool. For Wittes, IL is something that can’t be ignored (this book, like others from the center and center right, has David Addington in its cross hairs). But there’s not even a suggestion that an appropriate parallel vehicle for addressing the challenge is found in international law. A likely response: well, we...13 Mar Bradley Book Symposium: Customary International Law in the U.S. Legal System and the Perils of an All-or-Nothing Approach
Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties (p. 292 n. 49), but that position is not defended. I pick out the Take Care issue because it has implications for other questions discussed in the book. The precise mix of international law rules and comity in the areas of foreign state immunity and foreign official immunity is uncertain. But as Curt correctly notes, “it is generally understood that customary international law provides governments and officials with some immunity from suit” (p. 227). The International Court of Justice has held that sitting heads of...06 Jun New Book: International Prosecutors
of the prosecution in international criminal trials. As the first comprehensive study of an international legal actor whose decisions have widespread political repercussions, this book will be essential reading for all with an interest in international criminal justice. My chapter is the one mentioned above on completion issues; other contributors include Marieke Werde and Anthony Triolo (Resources); Luc Cote (Independence and Impartiality); Fred Megret (Accountability and Ethics); Kai Ambos and Stefanie Bock (Procedural Regimes); and David Re (Appeal). Anyone interested in international criminal tribunals should find the book extremely useful....14 Mar Symposium: Alter and Helfer’s Liberal Theory of International Courts–Interlocutors, Context, Backlash
...work. Interlocutors – If You Can Find Them Perhaps the central focus of the liberal approach to international courts, which informs Helfer and Slaughter’s 1997 article on supranational adjudication, Alter’s 2001 book on the ECJ, and her 2014 book The New Terrain of International Law, is the relationships than an IC cultivates with its various supranational and subnational interlocutors, including regional secretariats, national courts, government agencies, individual litigants, and jurist advocacy networks. These “compliance partners,” it is argued, are fundamental to the success of any IC, and Transplanting International Courts...23 Dec Review Essay of My Book in the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies
Don’t worry, I will not be linking to any and all reviews of my book. (Only the good ones.) I mention this review — a review essay written by the distinguished scholar David Fraser at Nottingham (sub. req.) — because it uses my book as a springboard to discuss a number of important historiographic issues concerning World War II scholarship that readers may find interesting. Here is the abstract: This review article discusses the emergence of the subsequent proceedings before the US Military Tribunals from the shadows of the trial...
