The Papers of John Marshall is the first scholarly annotated edition of the extant correspondence and papers of the great statesman and jurist who served as chief justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835. The project was organized in 1966 under the sponsorship of the College of William and Mary and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture. Over the years an exhaustive search of widely scattered public and private archives has yielded a collection of 8,500 documents relating to Marshall's life and career. These documents and the project's editorial offices are now housed at the William and Mary Law School. To date eleven volumes of the edition have been published by the University of North Carolina Press. The twelfth and final volume is nearing completion and will be published in the spring of 2006.

This program covers two aspects of post-conflict justice: retributive and restorative justice with respect to human depredations that occur during violent conflicts and mechanisms for restoring and enhancing justice systems that have failed or become weakened as a result of such conflicts. Areas of study include policy issues relating to accountability, mechanisms for assessing accountability, post-conflict peacekeeping and justice, and (re-)establishing the rule of law in post-conflict environments.
