We are pleased to announce that one of Professor MJ Durkee’s latest works was named the 2024 Best Edited Volume by the American Branch of the International Law Association (ABILA).
Durkee’s edited volume, States, Firms, and Their Legal Fictions: Attributing Identity and Responsibility to Artificial Entities, offers new insights into questions about how the law conceives of states and firms. The volume considers an array of questions about artificial entities that are usually divided into doctrinal siloes, such as attribution of international legal responsibility to states and state-owned entities, transnational attribution of liabilities to firms, and attribution of identity rights to corporations. Read the introduction here.
Durkee is the William Gardiner Hammond Professor of Law and a leading expert in international law. Her scholarship focuses on international legal theory, with specialties in business, environment, and governance.
ABILA is a national organization dedicated to the study, clarification, and development of international law and the advancement of peace, equity, and justice worldwide. It is composed of practitioners, academics, students, and government officials all working together to advise policymakers worldwide on a wide range of legal issues.
Please join us in congratulating Professor Durkee on this prestigious recognition!
