A Washington, D.C. law practice applying principles of international law to domestic criminal and civil cases, bringing cases before international tribunals, and managing cases involving the laws of more than one country. Many of the most complex, and from our point of view, the most interesting cases cross international boundaries, either physical or jurisdictional.  Although the legal systems of each country are different, they are tied together by treaties which establish common principles applicable most everywhere in the world.  Rights guaranteed by international treaties are known in the legal profession as human rights, enforceable in the domestic legal systems of every signatory state.  Although dating back to World War II, human rights is still an emerging field of law. Our goal is to apply these laws, particularly where for one reason or another, domestic systems have broken down.  We are particularly concerned with conflict zones and legal mechanisms to make war profiteering a more risky investment. As you can see from the left, under the Practice Areas tab, this is only one of many types of international law that we practice. One final note. This website is no substitute for legal advice. If you have a legal problem, please give us a call. Copyright Paul Wolf, 2008. All Rights reserved.		Read more > Read more >
