Each October, the American Branch of the International Law Association and the International Law Students Association organize the annual International Law Weekend (ILW) conference in New York City, an exciting event that brings together hundreds of practitioners, members of the governmental and non-governmental sectors, and students. The two-and-a-half day conference features over 30 discussion panels and many networking events for lawyers and students. ILW is free for all members of ABILA, members of ILSA, students, employees of the United Nations, members of the co-sponsoring organizations, and members of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York.
