Third-year student Stephanie Snow’s article, “Before Suing the Hungarian Railway in U.S. Courts: Holocaust Survivors and Heirs Must Exhaust Remedies in Hungarian Courts,” has been published in the fall 2015 issue of International Law News, the newsletter of the ABA’s Section of International Law. Her article clarifies, according to a recent decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, that Holocaust survivors pursuing a remedy from the Hungarian railway must first exhaust options in Hungarian courts before U.S. federal courts would be available to adjudicate claims under the Alien Tort Statute and pursuant to exceptions to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Snow’s article is based on one originally published in the fall 2015 newsletter of the Women’s Bar Association of Illinois.
