What Is
International
Law?
A criminal defense and civil litigation attorney since 1992
being licensed in North Carolina since that date and licensed
in Georgia since 2020 Attorney Bryce D. Neier also
concentrates in international law and has litigated civil
matters or been involved in other legal context with countries
such as: Germany, Columbia South America, Canada, Spain,
Italy, England, Australia, and Japan.
Although cross-border disputes over various rights are as old
as nations themselves, many wars and disputes have been
resolved by the use of those skilled in international law.
Over the years, international law has evolved to encompass
not only government relations, but also many organizations or
individuals who operate across national lines. By its very
nature, international law is quite different from domestic legal
systems. Most importantly, the structures and processes of
international law aren’t directly binding unless they fall under
the jurisdiction of a specific authoritative state or countries
have signed treaties such as found in Hague Conventions.
Instead, they are a collection of principals and assertions that
a majority of nation-states tend to recognize and in most
instances countries extend courtesy to one another in legal
arenas under the legal cooperation called "comity" in civil
law cases. In criminal matters often times several law
enforcement agencies will unite and coordinate their services
which may require attorneys skilled in international criminal
law such as the International Criminal Court. Attorney Bryce
D. Neier has experience in navigating these international
"waters".
