Events
In collaboration with Opinio Juris, occasional online symposia centering on scholarly conversations on articles published in the journal are organized. In collaboration with the Forum on the Practice of International Law, the journal periodically convenes panels, workshops, and talks on diverse topics with guests including Yale faculty, practicing international lawyers, distinguished alumni, and other campus visitors. In addition, the journal organizes a "works in progress" series at which Yale J.D. and graduate law students present papers to their colleagues with a faculty respondent who provides feedback and constructive criticism. Some recent events are:
- The "New" New Haven School (2007)
- Nation Building in the Middle East (2005)
- Reflections on the International Court of Justice's Oil Platforms Decision (2004)
- Current Pressures on International Humanitarian Law (2003)
- Reflections on the International Court of Justice’s LaGrand Decision (2002)
- Realistic Idealism in International Law, a conference in honor of W. Michael Reisman. Selected proceedings from this conference were published in the Summer 2009 issue.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
