- Troy Lavers co-conceived the framework and co-edited this book (223,000 words) with Loveday Hodson. The initial stages saw Lavers and Hodson plan the project and invite contributors. Lavers then co-organised three workshops in London, which included the 50 contributors involved in the project. At these workshops, the structure of each chapter was discussed with the contributors, and the contributors were assigned into ‘chambers’ for each judgment. Subsequent workshops reviewed draft chapters with experts in the field. Lavers also shared the tasks of corresponding with contributors and obtaining a book contract from Hart Publishing.
Lavers co-wrote two of the chapters in the book. She co-wrote the introduction of 9,000 words with Hodson and co-wrote Chapter 4 on the Lockerbie Case (15,775 words) with Kathryn Greeman. She also co-edited all the remaining 16 chapters of book with Hodson.
The project delivered a book that offered a collection of landmark international law judgments, re-imagined from a feminist perspective. It was based on collaborative and innovative writing that represented feminism methodology and theory. The result is a provocative portrait of what international law might have looked like, with different decision-makers and underlying power dynamics. Lavers and Hodson were awarded the American Society of International Law prize for 2020 for a pre-eminent contribution to creative scholarship, with the Committee stating that “The book stands out for its creativity, cohesiveness as an edited volume, and far-reaching vision.”
