2014 IHL Student Workshop
Berkeley Transcript article about 2014 Workshop
This intensive three-day workshop combines lectures and hands-on exercises that guide law students through international humanitarian law (IHL), or the law of war. The workshop will be led by lawyers from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and from the US Army JAG School, as well as by law professors who specialize in IHL. Much of the work is done in small groups with the faculty, and there is ample time built into the schedule for networking.
