Justice Without Borders
February 27
12 p.m. (Room TBD)
On February 27 at 12 p.m., a panel comprised of professors Bill Burke-White, University of Pennsylvania Law School, Roger Clark, Rutgers (Camden) Law School, Laura Dickinson, Visiting Fellow, Woodrow Wilson School, and Jaya Ramji-Nogales, Temple University Beasley School of Law, will explore the newest frontier in the field of international criminal law: hybrid tribunals. Located in the country in which grave crimes were perpetrated but containing international elements, these courts offer the promise of incorporating local culture into international criminal accountability efforts while building the capacity of national criminal justice systems. The realities of violence, political manipulation, corruption, and lack of infrastructure present challenges in implementing this new accountability model. Among them, the panelists have worked with and written on the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, the International Criminal Court, International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the Serious Crimes Process in Timor-Leste, the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal.

Spiro Hire Boosts Rising International Law Programs
Article by Hillel J. Hoffmann ..
This spring, the James E. Beasley School of Law’s international programs made an historic debut in U.S. News & World Report’s top 20.
This fall, the arrival of one of the country’s leading international legal scholars soon may help push Temple’s international law programs’ rankings even higher.
Peter Spiro — a leading authority in the areas of citizenship law, the role of non-state actors in international affairs and the impact of globalization on international and constitutional law — has joined the Temple Law faculty from the University of Georgia School of Law.
One of the most cited legal scholars of his generation, Spiro is Temple’s first Charles R. Weiner Professor of Law.
“Globalization has transformed the world and transformed the law.
That’s why strengthening our international programs by recruiting groundbreaking scholars of Peter Spiro’s caliber is a top priority,” said Temple Law Dean Robert Reinstein, who also is Temple University’s Vice President of International Programs.
“Along with other new faculty hires such as Jaya Ramji-Nogales and Duncan Hollis, Peter is preparing our students for the complex realities of today’s interconnected world.”
