Buxbaum Delivers 9th Snyder Lecture in UK
Professor Hannah Buxbaum visited the University of Cambridge Lauterpacht Centre for
International Law this month to deliver the ninth annual Snyder Lecture.
At Indiana Law, Buxbaum is the Associate Dean for Research and Louis F. Neizer Faculty Fellow. Her talk, "National Jurisdiction over Global Business Networks," highlights her expertise in private international law and international litigation and jurisdiction. The Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies will publish the lecture—as it does each year—in its forthcoming edition.
Held in memory of Dr. Earl Snyder, LLB'47, the Snyder Lectures are just one aspect of a unique partnership between the University of Cambridge and the Indiana University School of Law-Bloomington. In addition to these annual lectures, held alternately in England and the U.S., the Lauterpacht Centre hosts an Indiana Law student each year for a period of three months through the Snyder Visiting Scholarship.
These standout students perform international legal research while in residence. Past Snyder Scholars include many accomplished alumni. Alumnus Kirk Tsai is now at the Center, conducting research on international organizations and the legal status of Taiwan.
