This symposium Issue of the Columbia Law Review marks a moment of convergence and opportunity for an emerging field of legal scholarship focused on America's state civil trial courts.

"UNWHITENING THE WORLD": RETHINKING RACE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW |

International law was invented in 1789 when Jeremy Bentham introduced the term to replace the outmoded Law of Nations. Since then, international lawyers have spent a lot of time thinking about whether international law is in fact law, and little or no time considering how international law is international, or what international actually means.... |

AN UN-AMERICAN STORY OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE: SMALL PLACES, FROM THE MISSISSIPPI TO THE INDIAN OCEAN |

This intervention gestures to histories of American empire from a perspective born outside America's shores--in other words and other worlds, an un-American story of American empire. Seen from elsewhere, American empire appears both intimate and distant, at once singular and multiple, a vast terrain and a small place. For instance, how can we... |

It argues that the conflation of these different types of social acts into our conceptualization of... |
