Coming in September from Carolina Academic Press (2026), this thrilling memoir by CWRU Law Professor Michael Scharf is full of tales of adventures and misadventures in international law spanning Scharf’s career as a State Department lawyer, head of an NGO, special assistant to the prosecutor of an international tribunal, radio program host, and law school dean. Written in a breezy style as Scharf recounts his role in the international crises of the past 40 years, this book is, in the words of the Executive Director of the International Bar Association, “part travelogue, part action-adventure story – and entirely mesmerizing.” A must read for anyone interested in a career as an international lawyer.
