This exciting event brings together hundreds of practitioners, law professors, members of governmental and non-governmental organizations, and students. The theme of ILW 2016 is ‘International Law 5.0.’ The world is changing at an accelerating rate. From technological advances to environmental transformations, international lawyers are forced to confront emerging forces and new scenarios. Even settled principles of law are no longer settled. These tectonic shifts have been felt throughout the geography of international law. Legal professionals at every level – local, national, regional, and international – must change their practice to meet a changing world. Innovation will become necessary for survival.
ILW begins Thursday evening, October 27, 2016, with a distinguished opening panel at the New York City Bar (42 W. 44th Street). The conference continues Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29 at Fordham University School of Law (150 West 62nd Street). Friday’s activities feature a keynote address by Lucinda Low, president at the American Society of International Law, at Fordham University School of Law. This event is open to all conference attendees.
