Thanks for posting this Dan. I think it’s great that Opinio Juris is conducting this on-line symposium, among other things, providing non-specialists a window to important if not urgent topics and debates in international law and relations. And they’ve assembled a stellar cast of IL scholars to comment on the work of these ‘junior’ scholars. And to think attendance at this seminar is virtually free!
