International Law Goes West
Professor Diane Marie Amann, a law professor with special interests in international criminal law and international human rights law, was quoted in The Recorder on the launching of a western branch of the American Society of International Law (ASIL). The aim of the pilot project is to bring together academics, human rights organizations, and private and public sector attorneys.
"So much international work goes on here, it seemed like a natural place to begin to build community," said Amann, a society member co-chairing the effort. According to Amann the society isn't just for international law practitioners. She said immigration attorneys, prosecutors, and defense attorneys would benefit from its conferences, particularly when dealing with defendants from other countries or crimes that cross national borders.
