Here’s the post
I apologize for cross posting. I am the Newsletter Editor for the International Legal Research Interest Group of the American Society of International Law. We send a quarterly newsletter to our members which includes articles, individual nominations, upcoming publication releases, open positions (paid/volunteer), and educational opportunities (in-person/volunteer) related to International Legal Research.
