SAILS launch kicks off SAILS: Study & Analysis of Int'l Law Scholarship ASIL with an amazing panel of speakers and student leaders

Shout-out to the SAILS leadership team as ASIL has reached its conclusion. Huge thanks to Ali, Mishan, & Nicolas for taking on SAILS: Study & Analysis of Int'l Law Scholarship & bringing it all to fruition. The conversation is just getting started so join the mailing list on the website for more!

This great paper is also in the 1st SAILS symposium. coursesites.georgetown.domains/sails/publicat… So many fun visuals & analysis by these masters so little time! AND ❗️wait til you all get to the one in Yale Journal of International Law by experts Cecily Rose Daniel Peat on what IL research gets funded ... Teaser:
