Supreme Court Nominee Well-Versed in International Trade Law
There is an international trade connection to President Bush's announcement last night that he will nominate Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Roberts is extremely well-versed in international trade law and has been in London teaching an international trade law class for Georgetown Law School's summer program with U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Timothy C. Stanceau. Judge Roberts has been shuttling back and forth between London and Washington, D.C. for his recent meetings with the White House staff and had to cancel classes so he could attend last night's announcement.
The syllabus for the international trade law class presented by Judges Roberts and Stanceau can be found at the following link:
