Judges With Unfortunate Names

For tomorrow's International Criminal Law class, I have been assigned to read an opinion by Judge Sayeman Bula-Bula of the Congo. The Congo has a Judge Bula-Bula? Really? Really?

Incidentally, International Criminal Law is, as I hoped, much better than the Intro to International Law material that preceded it. Intro to International Law was basically a philosophy course about the nature of law and statehood. Zzzz . . . In International Criminal Law, by contrast, we are learning about what happens in the real world when people are prosecuted for war crimes or apprehended in international waters. Great stuff!
