Welcome to the newest blog on international law

Hello everyone, and thanks for viewing this blog's inaugural post.

I am a civil litigator practising in Ontario, Canada, the author of Cross Border Litigation: Interjurisdictional Practice and Procedure (see www.Carswell.com), and I love international law.

The blog will provide updates on international law from a Canadian perspective, in particular (but not only) cross-border litigation matters.  Watch for updates about the latest case law on when a Canadian court will take jurisdiction over non-resident defendants (two Supreme Court of Canada decisions will be coming out soon), and about other topics such as cases on the enforcement of foreign judgments.    I will provide a synopsis and commentary, and I welcome your comments too!
