CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY — On January 24, the Frederick K. Cox International Law Center at Case Western Reserve University School of Law filed an amicus brief in a U.S. Supreme Court case about how to interpret the Hague Convention on Child Abduction. The brief was co-authored by Co-Dean Michael Scharf, Associate Dean Avidan Cover, Clinic Professor Andrew Pollis, Director of the Cox Center Stephen Petras, and alumnus David Carney (LAW ‘05), a partner at BakerHostetler law firm in Cleveland. This is the second time a petitioner in the U.S. Supreme Court has invited the Cox Center to weigh in about an important international law matter. The issue at the heart of the case, Golan v. Saada, is whether a child taken to the United States by his American mother should be returned to his Italian father in Italy in light of the father’s violent tendencies.
