What do we know about the history of international law in the Islamic world? We asked a select group of historians and legal scholars to explore this understudied field of history in a Roundtable on the History of Islamic International Law!
Happening now! Please join us at this AALS virtual session on legislation / interpretation if you’re interested in statutory interpretation AND (in my case) analog tools of interpretation in Islamic law!
Happening today at 1pm!
The AALS Section on Legislation & Law of the Political Process is hosting a panel titled "Canons, Cables, Currents: Interpretive Practices on the Court and Beyond" featuring PIL Faculty Director Prof. Intisar Rabb (@intisarrabb).
