About This Event

Please join AEI to celebrate the publication of The Limits of International Law, a new book by AEI's Jack Landman Goldsmith III and Eric A. Posner of the University of Chicago. In their book, Goldsmith and Posner argue that international law is constantly changing based on international politics, and that it is less significant than some public officials, legal experts, and the media make it out to be. A presentation by the authors will be followed by a discussion with Peter Berkowitz, George Mason University Law Professor and Hoover Institution fellow; Douglas Ginsburg, Chief Judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals; David Scheffer, George Washington University Law Professor and former official in the Clinton administration; and Edwin Williamson, partner at the law firm Sullivan and Cromwell and former legal advisor to the U.S. Department of State. AEI's John Yoo will moderate.
