Download or read book The Public International Law Study Guide for Students written by Cristina Verones and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-07-18 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sound understanding of public international law is indispensable for any lawyer, whether working in an international or domestic context. It is therefore important that students have a thorough theoretical understanding of international law issues, and are able to apply the relevant international legal rules to a given set of facts, so as to arrive at a legally coherent conclusion. This practical aspect of learning international law is often neglected in favour of more theoretical aspects - which is where this book comes in. The book offers a series of hypothetical practical cases in public international law, including some of its specialised branches, such as international human rights law and international criminal law. It challenges students to practise and familiarise themselves with the methodology and to write solutions to practical international legal questions. The book is in two parts: part one contains practical (exam-like) questions, while part two contains the solutions. The practical questions in part one are organised by subject, such as treaty law or state responsibility. One chapter is dedicated to more complex 'interconnected' cases, where students are asked to tackle problems which span multiple potential cases and topics. ENDORSEMENT 'An extremely interesting and innovative text that students studying Public International Law should find invaluable.' Associate Professor Joanne Sellick Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning, University of Plymouth

Download or read book Students Leading Cases and Statutes on International Law written by Norman de Mattos Bentwich and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Students Leading Cases and Statutes on International Law This book is primarily designed for students who are starting on the study of international law; and it is meant to be used as a companion to the principal English text-books. No attempt has been made to render it sufficient in itself, or to link up the leading cases with such an amount of commentary as would render the use of a text-book unnecessary. In this respect the collection of cases differs from that made by Mr. Pitt-Cobbett, and it differs also in that it gives the ipsissima verba of the judges, in place of a digest or summary of their judgments. Many of the decisions are indeed abridged, but it is hoped that the material parts which deal with points of international law have always been given. It is very desirable that the student should become acquainted as early as possible with the way in which questions of international law are dealt with by the Courts, and that he should study not only the results of the cases but the methods by which the results are reached. There exists already a well-known selection of international law cases in English, based on this principle. It is that originally made by Professor Snow and subsequently edited and enlarged by Professor J. B. Scott of the George Washington University. For two reasons, however, the book is not altogether suitable for English students; it is somewhat large, and the selection is primarily made from American decisions. Although the judgments of international law by the nature of their subject should not differ fundamentally in different national jurisdictions, there is an obvious advantage to the student in studying the subject as it has been expounded by the Courts of his own country.
