The Idaho State Bar’s International Law Section is pleased that, for the second time, it is a “cooperating entity” with the ABA Section of International Law’s Fall Meeting. For 2012, the ABA International Section’s Fall Meeting will take place in Miami Beach, Florida, from October 16-20, 2012.* Over 1,000 international law practitioners are expected to attend the meeting, which will feature programs in all areas of international law from corporate transactions, to international rule of law, to natural resources and ethics. Attendees can choose between several program tracks to suit their interests.
Members of the Idaho International Law section will pay the same rate as ABA International Law Section members. The fee is $995 for those who register by August 27, $1150 between August 28 and September 28, with a 15% increase thereafter.

* We do note that this will conflict with the Washington State University College of Business’ Business Law and Ethics Symposium. Section members and our website’s readers will unfortunately be forced to choose between these two great events.
