In mid-January 1906, a group of international lawyers, including then-Secretary of State Elihu Root, met at the Bar of the City of New York and launched the American Society of International Law.  Today, as the Society celebrates its 102^nd birthday, we have published a new collection of international law-related speeches by U.S. Supreme Court Justices over the course of the past century.  A Decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind . . ., edited by ASIL Member Christopher J. Borgen, a professor at St. John's University Law School, presents eleven speeches by U.S. Supreme Court Justices to the Society’s members.  The speeches stretch from Chief Justice William H. Taft’s 1922 address on the merits of international tribunals for resolving inter-state conflicts to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 2005 speech on the role of foreign and international law in U.S. judicial decision-making.  In between the speeches capture Chief Justice Robert H. Jackson’s reflections on Nuremberg and post-World War II developments in international law and Justice Antonin Scalia’s skepticism of foreign legal sources.  As globalization presents the Court with a growing docket of cases that present foreign or international legal issues, A Decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind . . . provides valuable historical context for the Court’s deliberations and decisions.  For more information about the book, visit http://www.asil.org/resources/books.html or post your questions and comments here.
