Director: Oona A. Hathaway,
Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law
The Yale Law School Center for Global Legal Challenges is an independent Center that promotes the understanding of international law, national security law, and foreign affairs law. The Center aims to bridge the divide between the legal academy and legal practice by connecting the legal academy to public and private sector actors responsible for addressing international legal challenges. In the process, the Center aims to promote greater understanding of legal issues of global importance—encouraging the legal academy to better grasp the real legal challenges faced by practitioners and encouraging those practitioners to draw upon the expertise available within the legal academy. In the process, the Center aims to grow a new generation of lawyers with a sense of their capacity and responsibility to use international law, foreign affairs law, and national security law to address real challenges facing the nation.

Each week of the fall semester, Yale Law School Professor Oona Hathaway ’97 meets with eight students in a small seminar room to tackle some of the most complex and pressing issues of national security and foreign relations policy. The seminar’s curricular goal—to examine current legal debates in U.S. international lawmaking and foreign affairs—is served by its format, which includes intensive research, discussion, and drafting of reports. Not just an academic exercise, the students’ work often ends up on the desks of some of the most influential lawmakers in Washington.
