Each October, the American Branch of the International Law Association presents International Law Weekend (ILW) in New York City. This two-and-a-half-day conference features over 30 panels, and many of the world?s leading international lawyers and diplomats participate. In recent years, keynote luncheon speakers have included the president of the American Society of International Law and the Legal Adviser to the U.S. Department of State. Gala receptions have been hosted by the Finnish, Belgian, British, and Singapore missions to the United Nations. Recent ILWs have attracted an audience of over 1,200 practitioners, academics, U.N. diplomats, business leaders, federal and state government officials, NGO leaders, journalists, students, and interested citizens. Registration for ILW is very reasonably priced as a service to our members. It is free for students. Sponsorship by law firms, universities, and interested practitioners is welcomed and recognized. International Law Weekend 2023 is scheduled for October 19-21, 2023. Early-bird registration rates end September 1.
