Welcome
The Institute for International Law & Politics was established to promote teaching and research at the nexus of international law and international relations. Recent developments such as intervention in Iraq, Kosovo's declaration of independence, or the treatment of detainees in the ‘War on Terror’ are difficult to assess in the absence of an understanding of legal rules and an appreciation of the ways in which these rules may affect behavior. The Institute hosts a number of events each year. These events bring students together with practitioners, policy makers, and legal scholars in a variety of formats.
Leadership
The Institute for International Law and Politics is led by Prof. Christopher C. Joyner, co-founder and director of the Institute, and Prof. Catherine Lotrionte, associate director for the Institute. Together Professors Joyner and Lotrionte oversee the Institute research programs and its M.A. Program in International Law and Government.
The Institute also maintains a governance board that advises the various topics and areas related to the study of international law and international relations.
