[Boyle, Francis A]

...join the State Department as Legal Adviser, service for which he received the Secretary of State's Distinguished Service Award....

Yes, the Killary Distinguished Service Award for murdering tens of thousands of  Muslims/Arabs/Asians Men, Women and Children of Color  all over the World, including US citizens and one American Child--in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Somalia for starters.
A Real Luca Brazzi Hitman  for the US Imperial Power Elite. And before that he did the same for Reagan from 1983 to 1985. Two  Global Murder Incs.
 Way to go Illinois/Yale Mafia School!

"The First 200 Days: Foreign Policy Law Challenges for the Next Administration"
As the presidential campaign rages, the foreign policy and international law challenges have been pushed to the background. But after early November they will take center stage. What key foreign policy issues must the next Administration quickly address and what domestic and international legal challenges do they raise?

He first began teaching at Yale Law School in 1985 and served as its fifteenth Dean from 2004 until 2009. From 2009 to 2013, he took leave as the Martin R.

Professor Koh has received fourteen honorary degrees and more than thirty awards for his human rights work, including awards from Columbia Law School and the American Bar Association for his lifetime achievements in international law. He has authored or co-authored eight books, published more than 180 articles, testified regularly before Congress, and litigated numerous cases involving international law issues in both U.S. and international tribunals.

Circuit, worked as an attorney in private practice in Washington, and served as an Attorney-Adviser for the Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice.

About the Vacketta-DLA Piper Lecture on the Role of Government and the Law
This series was made possible through the generosity of Carl Vacketta, '65, and DLA Piper, which has more than 4,200 lawyers in offices in Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States; and represents more clients in a broader range of geographies and practice disciplines than any other law firm in the world.
The Vacketta-DLA Piper Lecture Series is a component of The Marbury Institute, named for William L. Marbury, Jr. (1901-1988), who was instrumental in the development of the firm and devoted his career to public and community service. The Institute serves as DLA Piper's initiative to promote the highest ideals of the legal profession.
The event is free and open to the public. A reception will be held in the Peer and Sarah Pedersen Pavilion following the lecture.
