Center for Military Law and Policy Hosts Annual Scholars Conference

TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW | MAY 1, 2026

Each year, the Center for Military Law and Policy at Texas Tech Law brings together leading military and international law scholars and practitioners from around the world for an intensive 1.5-day workshop. Under the leadership of Professor Geoff Corn, Director of the Center, the group explores some of the most pressing legal and policy challenges in international humanitarian law and national security.

 
This year’s discussions examined issues such as the legal framework governing attacks on shipping in international straits, the role of mental health in proportionality analyses, the implications of AI-enabled deception in armed conflict, and the interpretation of war crimes like starvation of civilians. These conversations help shape timely, thought-provoking topics to share with students as potential ideas for journal writing.
