...served as the moderator of the forum, which attracted about 250 students, forcing several dozen to stand. The forum is timed to coincide with the first publication of the HLR for the year, which traditionally covers the Supreme Court’s previous term. Posner wrote a 71-page foreword for the issue, while Jackson and Young wrote articles on the role of foreign law in American courts.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is eager to capitalize on the resonances of the past. The exhibition is opening, he writes in a foreword for the show's catalog, at "a most propitious time, as Turkey's aspirations toward membership of the European family of nations in the European Union are center stage."
