Thirteen essays by American legal scholars map and analyze current and past patterns of promotion or opposition, use or neglect, of international judicial bodies by various branches of the United States government, suggesting a complex and deeply ambivalent relationship. The United States has been, and continues to be, not only a promoter of the various international courts and tribunals but also an active participant of the judicial system. It appears before some of the international judicial bodies frequently and supports more, both politically and financially. At the same time, it is less engaged than it could be, particularly given its strong rule of law foundations and its historical tradition of commitment to international law and its institutions. 517 3 $aThe Sword & the Scales 606 $aInternational and municipal law$zUnited States 606 $aInternational law$zUnited States 606 $aInternational courts 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations 615 0$aInternational and municipal law 615 0$aInternational law 615 0$aInternational courts. 676 $a341.5/5 702 $aRomano$b Cesare$g(Cesare P.
