What is international law?

I mean, I have a general idea, but what sorts of careers, other than in the business world, would I find?

What about salary statistics?

Employment overseas?

Thanks, I appreciate any help!

To sum it up broadly.... and i mean broadly because international law is so much deeper than what im gonna explain here.... international law is the treaties and laws that determine how states interact with each other and conduct themselves in a worldy prospective. The highest judicial authority of international law is the International Court and the administrative authority is the United Nations. it can be so much more than that though also... such as economic development within countries, the embargos and sanctions that countries place on each other, etc.

As an international lawyer, you may find yourself representing organizations and companies in ways such as representing their organizations on an equal footing with foreign investors, governments, multilateral organizations, contractors, consultants, etc., develop and implement policies that promote the interests of their organizations, and so on.

International law can be interesting, if you are the type of person who likes politics and the different government entities throughout the world.

i suggest you look into it to see if its something that would fit you.

What are the best Law Schools outside the T14 for studying International Law?

The only T14 I am applying to are Georgetown and Northwestern but was wondering what are some other Tier 1 Schools that have good International Law programs?

International law is the term commonly used for referring to laws that govern the conduct of indepedent nations in their relationships with one another. It differs from other legal system in that it primarily concerns provinces rather than private citizens.
