ASIL's Dispute Resolution Interest Group is hosting a panel discussion of the decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2017-2018 term involving issues relating to international law and/or international relations. The discussion will include an in-depth look at the reasoning behind the decisions in Jesner v. Arab Bank, PLC; Rubin v. Islamic Republic of Iran; Animal Science Products v. Hebei Welcome Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.; and Trump v. Hawaii. Our panelists, comprising some of the leading experts on international law issues, will also explore what these decisions tell us about the current Supreme Court's views on matters of international interest, as well as the influence the newly appointed Justice Gorsuch has had on these issues. Please join us for a lively and interactive discussion and debate.
