Search: Affective Justice: Book Symposium: A Response
29 Sep Book Discussion: Freedom from Religion by Amos Guiora
more light than heat and so we have put together a group of thoughtful commentators to guest with us for this symposium.

Whitney Professor of Contract Law st St. Johns Law School and the founding director of the Law School’s Center for...18 Feb New Book: Lewis, The Birth of the New Justice
I rarely get excited about a new book before I’ve read it — but I’m excited about this one, Mark Lewis’s The Birth of the New Justice: The Internationalization of Crime and Punishment, 1919-1950. Here is OUP’s description: The Birth of the New Justice is a history of the attempts to instate ad hoc and permanent international criminal courts and new international criminal laws from the end of World War I to the beginning of the Cold War. The purpose of these courts was to repress aggressive war, war crimes,...17 Oct Book Discussion Informal International Lawmaking: Legality and Normativity – A Reaction to Tai-Heng Cheng
[Ramses Wessel is Professor of the Law of the European Union and other International Organizations at the University of Twente] First of all many thanks to Prof. Tai-Heng Cheng for taking the time to respond so eloquently to the parts on legality and normativity in our book on Informal International Lawmaking. Because of his knowledge of the area (as for instance reflected in his excellent book When International Law Works), his comments are very valuable. In fact, the comments touch upon an essential debate that was started by the book,...12 Mar Cheng Book Roundtable: Why International Legal Theory Matters
...Harold Koh, the State Department Legal Advisor, argues drones are lawful, but in his former life as an academic, Professor Koh, the human rights scholar, might have taken a different view. The book also explains why bank regulators follow BASEL III even if it is not strictly law. Crucially, the book is an attempt not just to explain international law, but to guide decisionmakers about what to do about it. I will leave the details of my thesis to later posts. For now, I offer thanks to Opinio Juris and...16 Oct Book Discussion: Informal International Lawmaking
Over the next three days we are bringing you a discussion of a brand new book, edited by Joost Pauwelyn (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva), Ramses Wessel (University of Twente, The Netherlands) and Jan Wouters (University of Leuven, Belgium), on Informal International Lawmaking, published by Oxford University Press. Here is the abstract provided by the publisher: Many international norms that have emerged in recent years are not set out in formal treaties. They are not concluded in formal international organizations. They frequently involve actors other than formal...02 Sep OUP/ Opinio Juris Book Club: Tom Farer’s Confronting Global Terrorism and American Neo-Conservatism
