Professor Roza Pati, St. John Paul II Distinguished Professor of Law in cooperation with Professor Michael Reisman, Myres S.  edited a book titled — Human Flourishing: The End of Law- Essays in Honor of Siegfried Wiessner, published by the leading Dutch publishing company Brill-Nijhoff. Scholars from all six inhabited continents contributed 39 thought-provoking articles. They explored topics as diverse as theory about law, human rights, human trafficking, the rights of indigenous peoples, the rule of law, constitutional law, the rights of migrants, international investment law and arbitration, space law, the use of force — all integrated by the problem- and policy-oriented framework of what has come to be known as the New Haven School of Jurisprudence. The book’s title “Human Flourishing: The End of Law” reflects the conviction of the honoree, the editors and the contributors that the purpose of law ought to be to allow humans to achieve their full potential – to thrive and develop, materially and spiritually, under the law.
