Virginia Wesleyan College Professor of History,
Daniel S. Margolies
Virginia Wesleyan College Professor of History Daniel S. Margolies will be presenting a paper titled "Extraterritoriality and Exception in Late Nineteenth Century U.S. Foreign Relations" at a symposium on extraterritoriality at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, CA on November 12.
The Southwestern Symposium discusses how homegrown legislation affects the global community. Do U.S. laws stop at the border? If not, when do they - or when should they - govern the conduct of people abroad? A flurry of recent activity and scholarship has involved disputes over the geographic reach of domestic law.
Margolies joins renowned legal scholars and political scientists from across the country who will convene to discuss this timely topic when Southwestern presents Beyond Borders - Extraterritoriality in American Law, a law review symposium to discuss the history, doctrine, and current issues related to this widely-discussed matter from a variety of viewpoints.
According to Margolies, "This symposium covers a critical historical and contemporary topic and assembles all of the top scholars in the field, so I am really excited and honored to be involved."
The participants in the Symposium are remarkably accomplished and include the nation's leading scholars in this area of law. Like Margolies, they have written leading law review articles and influential books on the issue of extraterritoriality, and the nation's highest courts consult their work when grappling with these difficult jurisdictional issues.
