The number of Texas corporations, with their business interests abroad, joint venture partners, and employees around the world, makes the possibility of encountering an international legal issue likely. Similarly, foreign citizens who live and work within our borders may face a variety of legal
 issues, from employment to criminal matters. Consequently, Texas young lawyers will be well served to understand some aspects of international law.
