Opinio Juris
Opinio Juris holds the distinction of being the very first blog focused on the thoughtful exploration of international law, created for academics, practitioners, and legal professionals. Launched in 2005 by three law scholars—Chris Borgen and Peggy McGuinness from St. John’s University, along with Julian Ku from Hofstra—this platform quickly became a hub for legal discourse. The following year, Kevin Jon Heller from the University of Copenhagen and ANU became a contributor. The blog's authors strive to dissect and interpret international law in areas that are often contentious and unclear.
