Due to globalization, international society is rapidly shrinking with the line between international law and national law becoming increasingly blurred.  Given the increasing importance of international law and how close it has become to our day to day lives, we are organizing a series of workshops for local attorneys, policy makers, and civil society groups, workshop series on The Impact of Globalization on National Law: Lessons for Wisconsin, sponsored by GLS and WAGE.

Listen to the workshop proceedings online.
