If you’ve been following the blog posts related to the Marquette-ASU Israel trip, you’ll recall the awful time we had getting back to the US. Ben Traver didn’t have to endure this problem as he scheduled a couple of extra days in Israel to travel on his own. Having a true sense of adventure and a natural … Continue reading Israel Reflections – A Close Call
On our very last day in Israel, with the sun shining and after spending an hour on the beach, we forced the students back on the bus to Tel Aviv University to have a joint class with Moty Cristal’s class from the International Master’s in Dispute Resolution program. If ever I was worried that the … Continue reading Israel Reflections–Negotiation Aikido Israeli-Style
In honor of the RJ conference that Marquette is hosting today (link here for the agenda on clergy abuse and healing) I thought I would post several student reflections on our meeting with the restorative justice group Parent’s Circle when we were in Jerusalem. The Parent’s Circle is a group of bereaved family members on … Continue reading Israel Reflections–Restorative Justice
Susan Franck (Washington & Lee, currently visiting at Vanderbilt) recently posted her latest paper, Rationalizing Costs in Investment Treaty Arbitration, on SSRN. The piece continues her empirical work in an important area of international finance, this time focusing on the hot button issue of costs.

We had just spent the afternoon with a guide from Ir Amin, a group that tracks the development of Jerusalem … Continue reading I Hate the Fence…Thank God for the Fence

My trip to Israel with Art and Andrea was the most educational and inspirational trip abroad that I have ever experienced. In just a week’s time, … Continue reading Reflections on Israel
We’re about halfway through our trip, and I have to say that’s it’s been great so far and live blogging has been more challenging than anticipated as we’ve been on the go so much that there’s not as much time or wifi access as I had anticipated. That said, we’ll certainly do some post trip … Continue reading Mid Trip Reactions – the Israel Live Blog Cont’d
Last night we had a riveting lecture by two members of the restorative justice organization known as the Parents’ Circle. Ali, a Palestinian, and Robbi, an Israeli Jew, both have had family members killed in the greater conflict and both told the stories of their respective deaths. Ali’s brother, who was his only caretaker when … Continue reading The Parents’ Circle – the Israel Live Blog Cont’d
If Israel had a relationship status on Facebook, that’s what it would be – at least according to our speaker s yesterday. The three of them must have described the Palestinian-Israel issue in those two words a dozen times or more. Of course, it is an extremely complex problem. One aspect our guides walked us … Continue reading It’s Complicated . . .
