Welcoming the Transnational Litigation Blog

My UNC colleague, John Coyle, along with Ingrid Wuerth (Vanderbilt), William Dodge (UC-Davis), and Maggie Gardner (Cornell), have recently launched the Transnational Litigation Blog.

The editors have been very active, posting on topics including the legal challenges presented by a possible Russian bond default, evaluating whether the U.S. should seize Afghan central bank assets to pay judgments against the Taliban, weighing the foreign relations aspects of contemporary climate change litigation, and recounting the disquieting origins of the modern doctrine of forum non conveniens. In addition to traditional blog posts, TLB includes pages that explain various topics, such as forum selection clauses, choice of law clauses, and the presumption against extraterritoriality.

For those of you who are interested in transnational topics--or for those of you who just can't get enough legal blog content--I hope you check it out!
