Digital Exhibit Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of YJIL and the work of Prof. W. Michael Reisman
We are pleased to invite you to explore a digital exhibit titled Walking Down Memory Lane on the 50th Anniversary of YJIL, which was created to archive a Spring 2024 library exhibit. It marks an initiative to digitally archive and preserve library exhibits on the University's instance of Omeka, an open-source content management system designed for hosting digital collections. The physical exhibit Walking Down Memory Lane on the 50th Anniversary of the Yale Journal of International Law (YJIL): An Exhibit in Honor of Professor W. Michael Reisman, Teacher, Jurist, Enduring Patron, and Inspiration, accompanied the March 8, 2024 symposium The Yale Journal of International Law's 50th Anniversary Conference: Celebrating the work of W. Michael Reisman, held at Yale Law School.
This digital exhibit, like the physical one, comprises three parts. The first component highlights Prof. Reisman's work as a counsel and arbitrator, as a prolific author and inspiring teacher, and as an advocate for policy change. The second part features a timeline that traces the memorable milestones underlying the evolution of the Yale Journal of International Law in its five decades. The third component illuminates the enduring influence of the New Haven School of International Law, from its inception at Yale in the 1950s to the present day globally.
The exhibit was curated by Evelyn Ma, Reference Librarian for Foreign and International Law, Steven A Mitchell, Research and Instructional Librarian, and Lucie Olejnikova, Associate Director for Foreign and International Law.
