Foreign and Int’l Law in U.S. Courts
April 2009: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at Moritz College of Law at Ohio State University
• “I frankly don’t understand all the brouhaha lately from Congress and even from some of my colleagues about referring to foreign law”
• “Why shouldn’t we look to the wisdom of a judge from abroad with at least as much ease as we would read a law review article written by a professor?”

Foreign and Int’l Law in U.S. Courts
• Justice Stephen Breyer has declared that “comparative analysis emphatically is relevant to the task of interpreting constitutions.”
• Stated that United States Courts “face an increasing number of domestic legal questions that directly implicate foreign law.”
• Justice Breyer noted “neither I nor my law clerks can easily find relevant comparative material on our own. The lawyers must do the basic work: finding, analyzing, and referring us to that material.”

Sample U.S. Decisions• Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 US 306 (2003 - Michigan Law
affirmative action case) Ginsburg and Breyer discussion of “the international understanding of the office of affirmative action,” including a look at CEDAW.
• Atkins v. Virginia, 492 U.S. 302 (2002). Court invoked a brief filed by the European Union which catalogued the overwhelming repudiation of the practice by the rest of the world.
• Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003). Decision cited 1967 Act of the English Parliament and the leading 1981 European Court of Human Rights decision, Dudgeon v. United Kingdom, and subsequent European Human Rights Court decisions.
