The center’s executive director, Franco Ferrari, currently the Inge Rennert Distinguished Visiting Professor of Law at NYU and a professor at Verona University School of Law, will deliver the opening remarks. On March 19, Linda Silberman, Martin Lipton Professor of Law, will join Ferrari to discuss what law should apply to the merits of an international dispute.
