Read  Wallace 7-33, will go over sources ideas in detail 

Plus look at

http://www.law.sc.edu/linnan/examarcv/asil.htm

And ask yourself what is this soft law stuff they are talking about?

Plus look at

http://www.ciel.org/Publications/olpaper3.html

And ask yourself whether it is good or a bad thing that that CIEL is pushing so hard to challenge implicitly ideas behind sources approach? Is CIEL on the NGO side simply doing what Edith Weiss Brown is advocating at ASIL? Why or why not?
