Join hundreds of members of the international legal community at the annual International Law Weekend conference, October 20-22 in New York City. The theme of ILW 2011 is "International Law and National Politics." More than 30 expert panels will examine how—and to what extent—international standards influence the application and interpretation of national law, touching upon such diverse areas as human rights and humanitarian intervention, national security, immigration, trade, labor, and the environment.
ILW begins Thursday evening, October 20, with a distinguished opening
panel at the House of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York,
42 W. 44th Street. A reception, open to all conference attendees, will follow. The conference continues Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22 at Fordham Law School, 140 West 62nd Street.
Friday's activities feature a keynote address by distinguished guest speaker Harold Koh, Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State, and an evening reception hosted by the Permanent Mission of
Switzerland to the United Nations.
Attendance at ILW is free for members of ABILA, ILSA, ABCNY, and other co-sponsoring organizations, as well as staff of the United Nations and Permanent Missions to the United Nations, and students. For all others, the fee to attend is $75. |
