We have two great talks I want to highlight coming to the law school in the next two weeks.

First, we welcome Judge Evan Wallach of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Judge Wallach will present a talk on "The Law of War in the 21st Century" on Wednesday, October 17 at noon in the Faculty Lounge. He has served on the Federal Circuit since 2011. Before his appointment, Judge Wallach served for sixteen years as a judge of the Court of International Trade. He holds an LLB (Public International Law) from the University of Cambridge and a JD from U.C. Berkeley. At various times he was a Combat Engineer Reconnaissance Sergeant, an Army JAG officer in International Affairs dealing with Persian Gulf War POW and war crimes issues, a Partner at Lionel Sawyer, and the General Counsel and Public Policy Advisor to Sen. Harry Reid. He has taught and published extensively on the law of armed conflict and maintains a web site on the subject, and has served as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, New York Law School, Brooklyn Law School, George Washington Law School and the University of Muenster.
