IntLawGrrls
Intlawgrrls are "voices on international law, policy, practice." They "embrace foremothers' names to encourage crisp commentary, delivered at times with a dash of sass. We welcome replies, and we look forward to fresh dialogue on the matters of the day. It's our world, after all."

Baylis, University of Pittsburgh (Amelia Earhart); Johanna Bond, University of Wyoming (Mary Harris Jones); Karen E.
