As How Everything Became War describes, the methods and practices of contemporary violence have gradually eroded traditional legal and political distinctions between war and peace. Classifying a particular time and space as war, peace, or something in between defines the universe of permissible harms, relevant victims, and appropriate experts. It... |

Critical scholarship on geographical indications (GIs) has increasingly focused upon their role in fostering development in the Global South.

In the aftermath of massive human rights misuses, victims have well-established rights to see the culprits penalized, to know the truth, and to receive reparations.

98 Boston University Law Review 1607 (December, 2018) |
Law Review Articles and Other Secondary Sources |

Scholars typically discuss the rule of law as an abstract concept, rather than a practical reality susceptible to failure. The Memphis Massacre of 1866 provides a valuable case study in the failure of foundational principles of the rule of law. After the Civil War, in Memphis, Tennessee, there was a massive influx of former slaves, coterminous with... |
