This panel discussion will review decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2018-2019 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 Republic of Sudan v. Harrison and Jam v. International Finance Corp., and will examine the prospects for several Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act cases granted or pending certiorari for the upcoming 2019-2020 term, among others.
