Recent events have me thinking about how we teach international law in the United States. In talking to colleagues, reading the news, and comparing responses from U.S. and non-U.S. scholars to U.S. actions in Venezuela, the U.S. seizing oil tankers, the U.S. withdrawing from international organizations and conventions, etc., etc. I realized my question shouldn’t be how we teach international law, but if we teach international law in the United States. Based on a very informal LinkedIn poll, a question posted on BlueSky, and a quick review of U.S. law school curriculums, it looks like most U.S. law schools don’t require any type of international law course to graduate. This isn’t surprising given everything law students must accomplish in three years, but it is disheartening. It makes me wonder if we’re doing our students a disservice by not requiring that they engage with some type of international law during law school. It also makes me wonder if some of the issues our country and profession are currently facing might be helped through promoting a better understanding of international law.
