International Practice SectionWho We AreThe International Practice Section was founded in 1984. This section has a broad focus that includes not only the study of current developments in the field of international law, but also immigration law, international transactional work, and international litigation or arbitration. Members include individuals who have a wide variety of backgrounds and practices including full-time and part-time practitioners, government, business, foreign lawyers, academia, internationally-focused law students and those simply intellectually interested. Member benefits include a quarterly e-newsletter, monthly mini-CLEs at no cost to members, and annual receptions for both foreign lawyers and law students. Membership Information and BenefitsMembership of the International Practice Section continues to grow. The cost of membership is small, compared to the benefits of membership. The International Section has continued to grow in numbers and events and currently we have three yearly events that are open to all section members. Visiting Lawyers' Reception. This is an excellent event that pairs visiting lawyers attending programs at local universities with local lawyers. The attorneys meet at a reception hosted by a section law firm. This event is usually held in late October. Law Student Reception. This is an outreach event held for all students interested in international practice. This event provides law students the opportunity to meet with practicing attorneys and to join and become active in the section while still in school. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting is open to all section members and is held mid-summer. At this meeting board members are nominated and elected, yearly business is conducted and members mingle, network and reconnect. CLEs Over the years the Section has put on many excellent full and half day CLEs. Currently, the Section hosts monthly mid-day CLEs. The speakers are excellent, the topics are lively, usually 1 CLE credit is approved and best of all it is FREE to section members. Watch your email for notification and sign up early because space is limited.
