LAW 313 - Tutorials

This course offers a limited number of students the opportunity to research, draft, and publish short articles and information pieces on developing issues concerning international law in the United States.  Participating students will join students from law schools including Georgetown, Yale, American, and Berkeley as part of a new nationwide consortium of law students who are interested in international law in the United States.  Students will track developments in international law as it pertains to the U.S. political and judicial process and will research and write short pieces describing, analyzing, and/or commenting on these issues.  Many students will have their work published on the consortium’s webpage, with the goal of informing the public and facilitating public discussion.  One hour.  Professor Cope
