One of the greatest figures in modern international law, James
Brown Scott 1866-1943] intended to publish an autobiography titled
Adventures in Internationalism. He wrote a few paragraphs for this
book, but he never completed it. He decided instead to entrust his
life's story to George A. Finch, a protege and friend. Finch began
work on a biography with Scott's participation in the late 1930s,
but he never completed it. Using Finch's manuscripts and notes
Butler has produced a compelling study of Scott's key role in the
international law movement, participation in several important
diplomatic conferences and work as an author, secretary of the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and guiding force behind
the American Society of International Law. " Scott] fathered and
fostered the development of international law during the greatest
period of its history." --Manley O. Hudson, Harvard Alumni Bulletin
XXXIII No. 14 (1 January 1931) 419. George A. Finch 1884-1957] was
James Brown Scott's assistant and literary executor. He served as
assistant director of the Division of International Law at the
Carnegie Endowment, and, upon Dr. Scott's retirement, became that
division's secretary and director. He was president of the
Inter-American Academy of International and Comparative Law and
held several positions at the American Society of International
Law. At the time of his death he was honorary vice-president of the
society and the honorary editor of its journal. He was the author
of The Sources of Modern International Law (1937). William E.
Butler is the John Edward Fowler Distinguished Professor of Law at
Penn State University's Dickinson School of Law. He is the
preeminent authority on the law of Russia and other former Soviet
republics and the author, co-author, editor, or translator of more
than 120 books on Soviet, Russian, Ukrainian and other Commonwealth
of Independent States legal systems. Professor Emeritus of
Comparative Law at the University of London, Professor Butler is
the founder and director of The Vinogradoff Institute, which
operates as a unit of Penn State Dickinson. The recipient of
numerous honors for his service to Russian and international law,
Professor Butler is an Academician of the National Academy of
Sciences of Ukraine and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences and
is serving his third term as a member of the Russian International
Court of Commercial Arbitration.
