Arguing with international legal authorities: an empirical study
Summary
I collect and study citations to precedents and other authorities as found in international courts and tribunals' jurisprudence and parties' submissions, studying the process of authority-based argumentation in international law: how do you create/develop/undermine(?) an "authority" (auctoritas), what are the strongest authorities and the best argumentative strategies, etc.
In the process, I build databases of international judgments and awards that, I hope, will prove useful to future practitionners and academics.
