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.

International Law's Research Canon

In its noble effort to list "the most important works of scholarship in the various areas of legal inquiry," Prawfsblawg has published a call for readers to comment on the books and articles essential to research in International Law.  We forgive the failure to adopt the hip, new terminology of "transnational."  At any rate, the comments to the post remain intriguing.

There are two books that have been significantly neglected in international courses in law schools. One is more general, the other more particular. These are:

Ian Brownlie, Principles of Public International Law

and

Cherif M. Bassiouni, Introduction to International Criminal Law

How it is to exist without the first as an international legal scholar I have no idea. The second is simply one of the biggest joys to examine.
