This capstone course will provide an opportunity for students who have taken at least one international law course (or a related course) to engage in an advanced way with selected topics in international law and produce a major research paper. The first half or so of the colloquium will be devoted to interactive sessions over zoom or other video technology with leading international law scholars and practitioners from around the world on a series of topics or issues in international law (which may include the international legal regulation of the use of force; migration; the environment; trade; sovereign debt; emerging technologies; or human rights). Students will be required to engage both in writing and orally with the presentations offered by these scholars and practitioners. The second half or so of the colloquium will focus on presentations by students enrolled in the course on the topics of their papers, with detailed feedback being offered from the instructor and their peers.
