Quote from the Chair

'Our Division connects lawyers from all over the world, working together to develop and enrich the legal profession through their vast experience in international law. Through high-level projects and active working groups, we are working year-round to improve domestic and cross-border practice, to contribute to the international exchange of legal ideas, and to shape the way legislation is drafted and reformed all over the world.

I have found it personally and professionally rewarding to be part of the IBA and its activities. The excellent educational opportunities and the powerful networking are invaluable. I urge you to join our work and experience the benefits for yourself.'
