About TLB

  • Philip Jessup proposed the idea of a transnational law course. His vision of the subject was broad, including public and private international law; state and non-state actors; business, administrative, and political affairs; as well as negotiation and litigation. Inspired by his idea, TLB is only constrained by its pursuit to address all law transcending national frontiers.

Did You Know? Shift Happens

Shift Happens is a slideshow about how economic globalization, demographics, and rapid technological changes are shifting the status quo of our world (h/t FP Passport). TLB has not verified the accuracy of every fact in this presentation, so feel free to doubt it. The creator of the presentation's content, Karl Fisch, does link to his sources on his blog, though

Here are a few of the interesting facts from the slideshow:

  • If every job in the United States were sent to China, the Middle Kingdom would still have a shortage of jobs.
  • If MySpace were a country, it would be the 11th largest (between Japan and Mexico).
  • China will soon be the number one English-speaking country in the world.
  • The top 10 in-demand jobs in the United States in 2010 will not have existed in 2004.
