The International Law Weekend of the American Branch of the International Law Association (ABILA), which will be held in New York City on October 24-26, 2013, is the premier international law event of the fall season.
The event attracts an audience of more than one thousand practitioners, academics, diplomats, members of the governmental and nongovernmental sectors, as well as foreign policy and law students who are learning about the range of practice and career opportunities.
The overall theme of ILW 2013 is Internationalization of Law and Legal Practice. Panels of experts will examine how and why an appreciation and knowledge of international law is an increasingly relevant and important professional tool for virtually every lawyer.
