Roger D. Fisher '42, professor of Law, has been chosen to head a panel that will study the effects of international law on crisis situations.
The American Society of International Law, which has received a grant of $50,000 from the Old Dominion Foundation for the study, appointed Fisher. Abram J. Chayes '43, also a professor of Law and legal advisor to the State Department from 1961 to 1964, is on the panel.
