I'd need to know more about the material presented in the new courses. Especially for Harvard lawyers (who may have multinational practices), knowing something about international law is probably a good thing.

There is no such thing as international law. There are treaties; but those exist because sovereign nations have made agreements with other nations into their local law. There is the law of other countries, which can be important for an attorney to understand. But there is no floating body of international common law--for one, there is noone to enforce it.

The creation of such is one of the great dreams of the left as they do not like American law.
