The International Law Literature Forum is a platform to discuss contemporary international law scholarship, typically on the basis of work in progress by invited speakers. The literature chosen for the forum reflects the diversity of topics of, and approaches to, legal study. With the authors present, the forum offers an opportunity for an in-depth engagement with the pieces chosen. Furthermore, the forum provides a chance to give and receive constructive feedback for ongoing research. Speakers in the academic year 2015/16 included Mikael Madsen (University of Copenhagen), Yuval Shany (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Ratna Kapur (Jindal Law School, New Delhi) and Georg Nolte (Humboldt University Berlin), among others. A broad variety of topics was covered, including the history of international law, investment law, human rights law and general international law.
