Feminist Judgments in International Law

Loved Hodson & Troy Lavers, Feminist Judgments in International Law (Hart Publishing, 2019). 

This collection asks whether feminist perspectives can offer meaningful and viable alternatives to international law norms; and if so, whether that application results in distinguishable differences in outcomes. It answers these questions with particular reference to sources of international law, the public and private divide, State responsibility, State immunities, treaty law, State sovereignty, human rights protection, global governance, and the concept of violence in international law. This landmark publication offers a truly innovative reassessment of international law.

Destabilized Property

Shelly Kreiczer-Levy, Destabilized Property: Property Law in the Sharing Economy (Cambridge University Press, 2019).

The book develops a novel conceptualization of property in the age of the sharing economy. It argues that the sharing economy pushes for a mobile and flexible vision of engaging with possessions and, as a result, with other people. Property's role as a source of permanence and a facilitator of stable, longterm relationships is gradually decreasing in importance. The book offers a broad theoretical and normative framework for understanding the changing landscape of property, provides an institutional analysis of the phenomenon, discusses the social, communal, and relational implications of these changes, and offers guidelines for law reform.

Raising the Bar

Debo P. Adegbile, Lisa Davis, Damaris Hernandez & Ted Wells, Raising the Bar: Diversifying Big Law (The New Press, 2019).

In Raising the Bar, four partners of color from leading law firms engage in a no-holds-barred conversation about what it takes to make it in big law, using their own journeys to the top to discuss how law firms can do a better job of attracting and holding on to a more diverse set of young attorneys. They offer advice to the attorneys themselves on how to succeed in a culture that has long excluded them, including finding mentors among those who don't look like them, building a portable tool kit of skills, establishing key connections outside the firm, and staying "true to you," even as young associates of color navigate the foreign terrain of insular firm culture.
