COMPARATIVE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW

1

It is my great honor to assume the Directorship of the Whitney R. Harris World Law Institute at this important juncture in the Institute and the law school’s history. THE INSTITUTE, and Washington University Law, locatedsquarely in the heart of America, have always been ahead of the curve in predicting, analyzing, and reacting to world events. The coming year will be no exception.

AT WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW we have a distinguished traditionin both international and comparative law. Our dearly beloved William(Bill) Jones went to China decades ago, well before it became fashionable to do so. His translation of the great Qing Code is now required readingfor Chinese law specialists. We held a major interdisciplinary conference on European Monetary Union in 1997 when many experts were debatingwhether or not monetary union would ever exist. My own work on theInternational Criminal Court, generously supported by Washington University Law, was done when the prevailing wisdom was that the ICCTreaty would take “decades” to come into force. We now run the premiersummer program on international justice in The Netherlands along withour partner schools, and many of our students visit the ICC every year.

Washington University Law has always had a comparative and international law faculty that spanned the globe. That traditioncontinues today as the law school’s highlytrained and respected comparativists work in Australia, China, Cuba, France, Georgia,Germany, Ghana, India, Japan, Kenya, Korea,Malawi, Malaysia, Nepal, The Netherlands,New Zealand, Russia, Rwanda, Singapore,South Africa, Taiwan, and the United King-dom. Some have specialized training in foreignlegal systems, and are fluent or conversant inseveral languages. Others are advising foreigngovernments, such as Stephen Legomsky, theJohn S. Lehmann University Professor, who is currently counseling the South Korean Minister of Justice on immigration reform.

Our public and private international lawfaculty teach courses that address the most significant issues of the day—human rights during times of terror, the laws of war, international intellectual property law, climate change and environmental degradation,international trade and development, transnational corporate governance,

international business transactions, immigrationand refugee law, international human rights, andU.S. foreign relations and national security law.

Our students travel abroad in significant num-bers, and more than 70 foreign students from atleast 20 countries come to the law school tostudy each year. With assistance from our AfricaPublic Interest Law & Conflict Resolution Pro-ject, more than 50 students have worked withpublic interest law offices in South Africa provid-ing free legal aid to low-income people, and thelaw school is part of the Academic Consortiumproviding assistance to the Special Court forSierra Leone. Our alumni are working inEurope, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and theMiddle East, and many occupy very distin-guished positions in their countries of origin oras U.S. lawyers working abroad. Those remain-ing in the United States are among the vanguardof new lawyers able to employ in their legalcareers the international and comparative lawskills they developed here. We are poised tolaunch the first truly innovative TransnationalLaw Program with Utrecht University as ourpartner, a program that will prepare and qualifystudents for multi-jurisdictional practice in theUnited States and Europe.

The Harris Institute is proud to be part of thisfine tradition. Initiated by Professor StephenLegomsky in 1999, and renamed for formerNuremberg prosecutor and philanthropist Whit-ney R. Harris on February 7, 2002, the Institutehas held conferences every year that bringtogether the finest minds in international andcomparative law to discuss the topics of the day.This past year we held a major conference cele-brating the 60th anniversary of the NurembergJudgment, convening scholars, practitioners,politicians, and diplomats to look back as well asforward at the future of international criminal

justice. His Excellency Judge Philippe Kirsch, President of the International Criminal Court, received the first “World Peace Through Law Award,”bestowed upon him by Whitney Harris at the conference’s final banquet.U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd closed the proceedings by emphasizing the importance of the Nuremberg principles during an extraordinary and moving address to the international statesmen, judges, lawyers, philosophers, and academics who were in attendance.

Next May we will celebrate the work of the Institute’s outgoing Director,John O. Haley, with a Festschrift convening the leading experts in Japaneselaw from around the country and, indeed, the world. We also participatedin the International Humanitarian Law Dialogs celebrating the 100thanniversary of the 1907 Hague Convention, and are hosting our firstAmbassador-in-Residence, Her Excellency Carla Hills, former U.S. TradeRepresentative, who will be delivering the Tyrrell Williams lecture in thespring. The Institute’s first workshop in public international law and legaltheory, co-sponsored by the Project on Norms in International CriminalLaw, will take place in January, and we are now accepting applications for a research fellow, who will be teaching and undertaking major researchprojects under the auspices of the Institute and the law school.

Finally, I am pleased to welcome the Institute’s new Executive Director,Michael Peil, who also serves as Assistant Dean for International Programsat the law school. Michael comes to us after five years as Executive Directorof the International Law Students Association, a position in which heworked with faculty and students at more than 700 law schools in over 100countries and administered the Philip C. Jessup International Law MootCourt Competition. Michael has already brought his extraordinary talentand energy to the Institute and Washington University Law more generally,and I look forward to working with him on program development.

While it may seem surprising to think of a small Midwestern universityas a hub of cosmopolitanism, recall that the great international lawyer Manley O. Hudson was born in St. Peters, Missouri, and that it was at the1904 World’s Fair in Saint Louis that the Interparliamentary Union issuedits appeal for peace that resulted in the convening of the 1907 Hague PeaceConference. The values of social justice, peace, international cooperation,and international understanding have deep roots in our heartland soil.These have found expression in our programs, our scholarship, our faculty,and our students. At the crossroads of America, Washington University andWashington University Law lead the world in delivering an outstandingeducation, conducting cutting-edge research, and developing new techno-logies to enhance quality of life. At the same time, we maintain ourcommitment to the world’s poor, to the eradication of diseases and warsthat plague the planet, and to the construction of a stable, equitable, andpeaceful international legal order.

Meet us in Saint Louis! We look forward to welcoming you here.

Sincerely,

Leila Nadya Sadat
