ATTENTION- ALL STUDENTS INTERESTED IN INTERNATIONAL AND CRIMINAL LAW

The 16th annual Henry Morris Lecture in International and Comparative Law

On Thursday, September 30 at 12 noon in the auditorium, please plan on attending the 16th annual Henry Morris Lecture in International and Comparative Law. This year's lecture, "The Uncertain Self-Identity of International Criminal Courts" will be given by Mirjan R. Damaska, Sterling Professor of Law, Yale University.

Professor Damaska contends that without an understanding of the particular goals and contexts of international criminal adjudication, it is difficult to assess the adequacy of the substantive and procedural law used by international criminal courts.

He will analyze the broad array of objectives judges have set for themselves in international criminal courts and show that they are often, in his view, conflicting. He will explain what consequences this has for international criminal litigation.

His proposed solution is to abandon some of these ambitious goals and to modify others in order to make adjudication in these courts effective.

Mirjan Damaska has been a professor of law at Yale University since 1976. He is currently Sterling Professor of Law, which is Yale's highest faculty honor. During the early 1970's, he was a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Zagreb, where he served as acting dean. He has also been a member of the international faculty of comparative law in Luxembourg. Professor Damaska was educated at the Universities of Zagreb, Luxembourg, and Ljubljana. He is a member of the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the board of directors of the American Association for the Comparative Study of Law, and the International Academy of Comparative Law. Professor Damaska is the author of nine books and over 80 articles on comparative law, criminal law, criminal and civil procedure, evidence, constitutional law and legal history. His works have been published in the U.S., Germany, the former Yugoslavia, Croatia, France, England, Chile and China.
