This course is an introduction to research skills needed for public international law work. It complements the Public International Law course. This course focuses on how to identify and locate sources of international law including U.S. treaties and foreign relations documents, decisions of international tribunals, documents of international institutions such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization (WTO), and specialized resources on substantive fields of international law such as the use of force, human rights, the treatment of aliens, international environmental law, and international litigation.
Each student will submit a paper describing his or her methodology for researching a public international law topic. Grades will be based upon the research paper, classroom participation, and exercises.
