ILW 2014 was sponsored and organized by the American Branch of the International Law Association (ABILA) – which welcomes new members from academia, the practicing bar, and the diplomatic world – and the International Law Students Association (ILSA). This annual conference attracted an audience of more than one thousand practitioners, academics, diplomats, members of the governmental and nongovernmental sectors, and most importantly, foreign policy and law students who are learning about the range of practice and career opportunities.
The unifying theme for ILW 2014 was International Law in a Time of Chaos. The role of international law in conflict mitigation remains key – whether by building commercial links between states, fighting corruption, improving democratic governance, or providing methods for resolving international and ethnic disputes. International Law Weekend 2014 will seek to address the role of public and private international lawyers in each of these tasks.
ILW 2014 was held at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York at 42 West 44th Street on Thursday, October 23, and at the Fordham Law School at Lincoln Center on October 24-25, 2014.
The ILW 2014 audience included practitioners, professors, UN diplomats, business leaders, federal and state government officials, NGO leaders, writers, journalists, and interested citizens. For questions regarding ILW 2014, please contact [email protected].
