An exciting opportunity has arisen again for members of the IBA Law Students’ Committee to participate in a ground breaking, distance learning, international law course for the Autumn 2014 term. The course is a survey course in international human rights law, which will provide an introduction to the basic principles of international human rights and the legal institutions that operate in this area. The course has been developed by Dr Mark Ellis, a lawyer and economist who is the Executive Director of the International Bar Association, and Professor Talbot D’Alemberte, a former President of the American Bar Association; he continues to teach at Florida State University, having served as President of the institution until 2003. Although there are some suggested readings, most of the course material will be available online. Students from around the world will correspond with each other, and course leaders, via specially created blogs and discussion boards. The course will feature regular assessments and quizzes and a number of exercises. Grading will be based on performance on the quizzes and exercises. Classes are held on Wednesday mornings from 0900 - 1050 am EST. It is important that you are available to attend these classes remotely. Instructions on how to log on to attend the course online will be provided by the course administrators if you are selected to participate. All students successfully completing the course will receive a certificate from the International Bar Association. The course will commence on 27 August 2014, and it will finish on 19 November 2014. The course will cover the following topics:
