The Newsletter publishes thought-provoking commentary, including columns by the Society's president and the Society's executive director; information on meetings and symposia held all over the world; announcements of opportunities to participate in Society endeavors; and news of activities cosponsored with collegial organizations.
AccessThe ASIL Proceedings form a record of the Society's Annual Meetings, the first one having been held in 1907. At these events, international scholars, practitioners, and experts gather to discuss and present research papers on the latest developments in such areas as trade and investment, the environment, and human rights, and in such regions as the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe. Also included are speeches given by U.S. government and international officials, who often use the occasion of the ASIL Annual Meeting to make major policy statements.
