Consular Relations in Law School
As students return to law school and new generations find fascination or frustration in international law, we are likely to see more leaks from courses on diplomatic and consular relations as well as treaties and conventions. An example is an August 31, 2007 summary of facts and strategies in the Medina case. Jeff Vagle of the tractatus.org blog reminds defense counsel that a failure to invoke the foreign client's rights under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations to ensure consular notification constitutes malpractice. -- Clemens Kochinke, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
