maelorin at 10:00pm on 29/02/2004some thoughts on the international law conference that i have just been on/to.

i think i'm gonna enjoy being a legal educator. i'll get to think about stuff, and get challenged to think about it some more, while desperately trying ot think of ways to get it all across to my students.

some themes that came out in the conference were:
- lawyers need to bring a multi-disciplinary approach to conflict resolution;
- they need to be open to the realities of the context of conflict;
- they ought to be positive and optomistic about the role of international and domestic law in conflict resolution;
- they are partners in the process - and law is part of the conflict resolution toolkit;
- we are a diverse community ourselves.
