Hofstra Law Professor Julian G. Ku has been featured in multiple news outlets, providing expert legal analysis on global issues and interpretations of international law.
In a Newsweek article on China’s cancellation of flights to Japan, Prof. Ku provided commentary on how political pressures could play into fractious China-Japan relations.
Prof. Ku also spoke with Dutch daily newspaper Trouw about China’s evolving vision of international law, explaining how Chinese leaders emphasize state sovereignty while downplaying human rights norms — a perspective that resonates in parts of the Global South. In Trouw, he described this selective approach as part of China’s broader effort to reshape the narrative around the postwar legal order.
The Maurice A. Deane Distinguished Professor of Constitutional Law at Hofstra Law and Faculty Director of International Programs, Prof. Ku teaches and writes on international and constitutional law.

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, talked to Newsday about successful bipartisan efforts to protect the World Trade Center Health Program from attempts by the White House to reduce the federal workforce. Levy explained to Newsday that advocates and New York lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have found success protecting the program from cuts this past year underscored “the power to get things done, not only when Republicans and Democrats come together, but through urban-suburban coalitions.” Levy also spoke to Newsday about New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli facing several primary opponents this year. Levy said that DiNapoli is seen as an establishment figure within the Democratic Party who is more cautious than the progressive wing would like. He also has deep ties to the state’s politically powerful unions. “In a close race, he’s going to count on them to get out the vote,” Levy said.
