The annual Friedrich A. von Hayek Lecture in Law -- 2007
The NYU Journal of Law & Liberty is delighted to invite you to the annual Friedrich A. von Hayek Lecture. The third lecture of this annual series will be presented by Professor Viet Dinh, Georgetown University Law Center Professor of Law and co-director of the Asian Law and Policy Studies Program.
The Friedrich A. von Hayek Lecture focuses on the analysis of law from a classical liberal perspective. International Law is something that all legal theories have to consider and adapt to. Professor Dinh’s lecture, “’Fixing’ International Law with Lessons from Constitutional and Corporate Governance" will analyze the lessons that familiar legal structures may teach us in dealing with international legal problems.
There will be a reception following the lecture.

As the official responsible for federal legal policy, Dinh helped develop initiatives to reduce demand for illicit drugs, eliminate racial profiling in federal law enforcement, protect children from exploitation, combat human trafficking, develop DNA technology, reduce gun violence, and reform civil and criminal justice procedures. After 9/11, Dinh played a key role in developing the USA Patriot Act and revising the Attorney General’s Guidelines, which govern federal law enforcement activities and national security investigations. Dinh also represented the Department of Justice in selecting and confirming federal judges, contributing to the appointment of 100 district judges and 23 appellate judges during his tenure.

Silberman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
