The justiciability of Holocaust expropriation claims; treaty interpretation in international custody disputes; the adequacy of pleading the enslavement of children; accessing U.S. discovery for international arbitration; the availability of punitive damages for international terrorism; the immunity of international organizations before U.S. courts; how to serve process on a foreign state: The U.S. Supreme Court has considered all of these transnational litigation questions just in the last few years. When people, goods, and money cross borders, so do disputes. And when disputes cross borders, U.S. courts–both state and federal–must figure out how to accommodate foreign parties, foreign claims, and foreign law.
The resulting questions and challenges bridge areas of study and practice that are too often siloed. Our goal in founding TLB is to bring together scholars and practitioners who may not yet realize how much they have in common. We come to transnational litigation from different scholarly perspectives, and we aspire for TLB to be a forum for all of them.
