Letter to the Editor: From Just in Time to Just Wait – Go Health Pro

In the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, a number of American industries were decimated. There were likely many reasons for this, but a common thread was that the Japanese companies that were winning the trade war employed the concept of “Just in Time.” The American companies that were the victims did not employ this concept. This … Read more

Letter to the Editor: From Just in Time to Just Wait – Go Health Pro

The new administration promised to cut fraud, waste and abuse in the federal government. Admittedly, there is potential for cutting costs and our leaders should spend our tax dollars responsibly. Each administration has the right to fund projects it feels important. However, the current administration is creating unimaginable hardships for thousands of people they should … Read more

Letter to the Editor: From Just in Time to Just Wait – Go Health Pro

Rep. Joel Kitchens has authored a bill supporting the elimination of cell phones in classrooms, and I want to express my support for that position.  But most of what Mr. Kitchen’s is up to in education policy in the state legislature is unfortunate. Republicans keep blaming the schools, teachers, and DEI for their own disasters. … Read more

1. Adjudication – Peace Through Law in our Times Colloquium. On 9 – 10 May 2025, the Walther Schücking Institute for International Law at Kiel University will host a colloquium to commemorate the 150th birthday of Walther Schücking. The theme is: ‘International Adjudication – Peace Through Law in our Times’. In 1923, about a century ago, Walther Schücking sat for the first time (as judge ad hoc) on the Permanent Court of International Justice. Throughout this troubled century, many international lawyers have advocated the idea of strengthening international adjudication as a way of achieving ‘peace through law’. Today, there seems to be more international adjudication than ever before, at least at the ICJ, the Permanent Court’s successor. However, it is questionable, whether this always serves the goal of peace (or even the actual settlement of disputes) – and the rule of law. International adjudication is undoubtedly on the rise, but it is also challenged, not only by immense caseloads, but also by divergent expectations. International courts are involved in efforts to save humanity from evils such as climate change or the scourge of war. The rise of strategic litigation has implications beyond the individual case, it aims at structural change, and international courts are gaining the attention of a global public. At stake is whether the international judicial function is structurally stretched to its limits or even beyond – and how international judges can deal responsibly and wisely with the challenges. These will be the overarching questions of our colloquium. More information here. Registration is now open (until April 28, 2025).
