Extract

Welcome to the Fourth Annual Detlev F. Vagts Roundtable on Transnational Law. The purposes of the Roundtable are to promote scholarship by gifted younger academics, to support exchanges of ideas across jurisdictions, and to maintain connections between scholars and the practicing bar in the field of international and transnational law. The Roundtable is supported by a generous gift from the Vagts family, and I would like to acknowledge Karen Vagts, one of Det's two daughters, who is with us today.
