Panel Description:

This panel will address the very important topic of teaching International Law during challenging times, such as the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. International Law has occupied a less central role within American law schools’ curricula. At many law schools, International Law is taught as an upper-level elective course; thus, numerous American law school students graduate without ever having had exposure to International Law. It is this panel’s starting premise that International Law is a crucial course of study for every law school student; that International Law occupies a very important place in every lawyer’s practice; that International Law should be taught more frequently at all law schools in the U.S.; and that during the Covid-19 pandemic – a challenging time for all – the role of International Law should be re-emphasized and the course taught to all students. This panel will thus focus on exchanging best practices in terms of teaching International Law, with a particular emphasis on best practices regarding remote/online and/or hybrid teaching of International Law. The panelists will engage in an exchange of teaching practices and ideas, and they will share sources and tips regarding remote/online teaching of International Law. What are the best ways of “transferring” a traditional International Law course to an online/hybrid model? What teaching sources are best in an online/hybrid format? What video/audio/graphic sources may help to enhance the online/hybrid delivery of an International Law course? What challenges may teachers and students experience when enrolled in a non-traditional International Law course?
