On September 18-19, 2014, the
Center for International and Comparative Law at the University of Baltimore School of Law and
PluriCourts - Centre for the Study of the Legitimate Roles of the Judiciary in the Global Order at the University of Oslo Faculty of Law will hold a
symposium on "Legitimacy and International Courts," in Baltimore. The program is
here. Here's the idea:
The symposium, co-sponsored by the University of Oslo's PluriCourts program and celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Center for International and Comparative Law at the University of Baltimore, will bring together experts on specific courts and tribunals including the ICJ, WTO, ECJ, ECHR, Inter-American Court, ICSID, ITLOS, and ICC and specific themes including democracy, effectiveness, and judicial selection to consider the lessons that can be learned about the legitimacy of international courts and tribunals and those courts' and tribunals' ability to justify their authority and decisions.
