ABA-Section of International Law and Practice

The American Bar Association Section of International Law and Practice www.abanet.org/intlaw/home.html is the gateway to global expertise and the international legal community. Long the home of leading experts in international law, the Section offers a network to those who practice in international settings. The Section provides reliable and expert knowledge and perspective on cutting-edge international issues.

Members come from diverse backgrounds. Fifty per cent are in private practice, 1,500 are in-house counsel, 850 are U.S. lawyers living abroad, and 1,300 are non-U.S. lawyers from 90 countries. The Section is the leader in advocacy for international legal policy and the rule of law.

The International Lawyer, the award-winning quarterly law journal on international practice, and International Law News, a quarterly newsletter with updates on international practice and section events are two prominent benefits of membership. Members receive discounts on other relevant and practical publications, including the acclaimed International Lawyer's Deskbook, which explores important international legal issues and is a vital resource for all lawyers.

Committee membership is available to section members: the 55 substantive committees are grouped into five divisions -- General, Business Regulation, Business Transaction and Disputes, Comparative Law, and Public International Law. Four seasonal meetings, committee meetings, teleconferences, and videoconferences offer opportunities for CLE. Conference calls, listserves, and webboards offer other avenues of communication.
