Abstract

International Law: What to Teach and Why?

My colleagues on this panel and many in the audience have devoted much time to considering the subject of teaching international law. The focus of the discussion is often on why the general course should be taught and, if possible, be required of every law student. This is an important subject and I am in complete agreement with the position that some knowledge of international law is required of every legal professional today. But how much needs to be taught and why?

Keywords: international law, legal eductaion, transnational law
