There are still some spaces available in JSIS 534 – Legal Foundations of World Order this autumn.

This course examines the legal foundations of world security and stability in a time of dynamic change in international relations. Some believe that international law is a charade; governments comply with it only when convenient to do so, and disregard it whenever a contrary interest appears. But legal “norms” can still have a major impact on a wide range of economic, political and security matters. Topics will include the Just War Theory, International Humanitarian Law (the Law of Armed Conflict) and its application to modern warfare, humanitarian intervention, terrorism, nuclear weapons, suicide bombers and robotic warfare, international environmental law, climate change and the Law of the Sea.

Instructor: Rick Lorenz

My name is Caitlin, I graduated from the MSW Advanced Standing program last summer. I’m reaching out to see if anyone is looking for housing for the next year, as my roommate is moving south to be closer to her place of work. I currently live in a two bedroom apartment across from Woodland Park Zoo and the other bedroom will be available September 15th! It’s a quiet 10-unit building with coin-op laundry on site and a parking space available for $10/month if needed. Rent will be $1775/month split between the two of us for a 12 month lease.

If you’re interested, please send me an email at caitlin.bergman94@gmail.com or call/text me at (419) 610-1244. I need to give notice by 8/14, so I’m hoping to find someone ASAP!
