"How many—if any—scarce domestic resources should be allocated to the prevention of foreign harms?" That's the question Professors Wexler and Rowell pose in the newest edition of the University of Illinois Law Review's online edition, Slip Opinions. Along with five other scholars, Professors Wexler and Rowell tackle the question from a variety of perspectives. Questions of how American law and policy should respond to preventing harm to foreign lives remain in the headlines, from a recent Fifth Circuit en banc decision about the killing of a Mexican citizen along the U.S. border to a ever-present debates about our level of engagement in conflicts in the Middle East and beyond. The symposium can be accessed at the Law Review's website.
