The Law School Lounge is back with a new episode about international dispute resolution (IDR). Host Krystal Norton is joined by author and Professor of Law Mary Ellen O'Connell of the University of Notre Dame Law School. Professor O'Connell explains how she found herself an expert on IDR and why IDR is so crucial to our ever-evolving global community. Mary Ellen and Krystal explore the skills learned through studying or practicing IDR, the importance of IDR to global peace and stability, and the question of why IDR has fallen out of favor with a resurgence on the horizon. Mary Ellen drives home the importance of language and describes other lenses that may help in IDR and similar contexts. Between talking about current issues and cases, Mary Ellen also offers tips for students and faculty involved in IDR coursework; she carefully explains how her books International Dispute Resolution: Cases and Materials and The Art of Law in the International Community can be used by students, faculty, and anyone interested in learning more.
