International Law and the Fugitive [study], Part 1: Drafts for Chapters 1 & 2

The Research and Writings series includes correspondence, prospectus, outlines, draft manuscripts of Evans' works, copies of published works, notes (including bibliographic notes), indexes, and reference materials. This section encompasses both Evans' published and unpublished writings, with the notable exception of those stemming from her participation in professional organizations. (See "Professional Activities" Section)

Her extensive writings on such subjects as treaty law, extradition, political asylum and the legal control of international terrorism, include the following published works: Legal Aspects of International Terrorism; sections of three books on rendition, self executing treaties, and U.S. nationality laws; 30 articles and reports; numerous case reports for International Law Reports and the American Journal of International Law; and book reviews for several legal and political science journals. Materials for the book on terrorism are arranged in the sequence in which they appeared in the published work. The remaining published writings are arranged chronologically within their respective categories; unpublished articles and case reports pertaining to them follow the published materials.

The remaining boxes consist of unpublished writings, including Evans' thesis on self executing treaties in the United States; three casebooks on the introduction to law, international law, and law and the administration of justice; three studies on the topics of political asylum, self executing treaties, and U.S. policy and practice in regard to extradition and informal methods of rendition of fugitive offenders; miscellaneous notes related to her research and teaching; and finally, two annotated books which she reviewed. Materials are arranged in the order listed above.

The rendition study, which comprises the largest segment of the unpublished materials, is arranged in the three part sequence suggested by Evans' extensive outlines for the work. Copies of some of her speeches and published articles, together with a few manuscripts, give some indication of the content and scope of Evans' last major research project.

Correspondence is filed with the pertinent work and includes original incoming and copies of outgoing correspondence. Significant correspondence exists with Sir Hersch Lauterpacht and Eli Lauternacht (both editors of International Law Reports), with academic associates such as Professors J. Woodford Howard, Jr. (Johns Hopkins University), Richard R. Baxter Law School of Harvard University) and John F. Murphy (University of Kansas), and various publishing firms.
