Volcansek, Mary L., and John F. Stack, Jr, eds.
Courts Crossing Borders: Blurring the Lines of Sovereignty. Durham: Carolina Academic Press, 2005.
Find the book on Reserve at the Pence Law Library.
We also recommend two texts for this class. You do not have to purchase these books, as the law library has many copies of each on reserve. They are:
Janis, Mark W. International Law, 5th ed. New York: Aspen Law & Business, 2008.
Find this book on Reserve in the Pence Law Library.
Volokh, Eugene.
Academic Legal Writing: Law Review Articles, Student Notes, Seminar Papers, and Getting on Law Review, 4th ed.. New York: Foundation Press, 2010.
Find this book on Reserve at the Pence Law Library.
In addition to readings from the texts, we will also read extensively from other sources. These will be posted on this website (to save trees and also to save you money). The readings on the website are just as important as those in the texts. The readings for a particular class may change during the semester, to allow for current developments in this rapidly-changing field. The required readings will not, however, change during the week before the class.
Materials on the website require a username and password, which may be obtained from the instructors. We have also posted it on MyWCL.
