The American Bar Association International Law Section will host its fall meeting in London this week, featuring speakers from the U.S. and the United Kingdom and programs addressing multiple global issues to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first ABA meeting in the U.K.
The 2024 ILS Fall Conference, sponsored by the ABA International Law Section, takes place Wednesday through Friday, Nov. 13-15, in London.
The theme of the fall conference is “100 years of the ABA in the United Kingdom: Tradition, Innovation and Influence.” ABA President Bill Bay, as well as a number of past ABA presidents, will be participating. Special speakers include Lord Lloyd-Jones, retired justice, U.K. Supreme Court; Lord John Thomas, Lord Chief Justice of England & Wales, also retired; Diane P. Wood, retired chief judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit; and Barbara M.G. Lynn, chief judge, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Among the timely issues to be addressed during the conference are business law, competition, dispute resolution, intellectual property, legal ethics, practice of law, private wealth management and trade/sanctions.
“The centenary will naturally look back at Anglo-American legal experiences that shape current practices,” Jeffrey Golden, a former chair of the International Law Section who helped plan the conference, recently said in an ABA Journal article. “At the same time, we will be gazing ahead, asking how we preserve our status as a ‘learned profession,’ what innovations can improve our ethics and diversity and which steps will ensure we continue to attract the best and the brightest to the law.”
