The American Bar Association International Law Section is a professional body within the international affairs arena that concentrates on policy development, the promotion of the rule of law, and education for international law practitioners. It organizes a broad program of activities across multiple committees and divisions to monitor and disseminate information on domestic and international policy developments that affect the practice of law, aiming to advance international legal scholarship and professional collaboration with lawyers abroad. Based in Washington, DC, the Section engages a diverse membership across its regional and practice-focused groups and serves as a hub for practitioners working on global legal issues, including treaty-based public international law and various business and dispute-related topics. Its activities are grounded in a mission to promote interest, research, and knowledge about international law, support the professional development of its members, and contribute to the broader goal of strengthening the rule of law worldwide. A recent leadership appointment and participation in international law events illustrate the Section’s ongoing engagement with international legal practice.
