A key purpose of the Section newsletter, the International Law News (ILN), is to keep Section members informed about current international law developments and important Section news. The ILN publishes articles on breaking issues for practitioners in the international arena to assist them in gaining helpful insights into the hot issues and obtaining concrete, how-to advice on practicing international law in the marketplace. The ILN also publishes regular columns on public and private law initiatives, survival guides to cities, and pros and cons columns on breaking issues of general interest. The ILN is intended to give practitioners helpful insights and guide lines to doing business in the international arena. Articles should be short (2,000 words maximum) and comprehensible to nonspecialists.

Members of the Section of International Law receive the International Law News free as a benefit of membership.

The full text of the current and immediate past edition of the International Law News is available in the Members-Only area of this website.
