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.
