The global strategic and financial turmoil of the last several years has created unprecedented
challenges and opportunities for international law and institutions. ILW 2010 will address the
role of international law and institutions in reducing conflict, promoting security, fostering
human rights, protecting the environment, facilitating trade and investment, and resolving public
and private international disputes. Panels will examine subjects such as the extent to which
treaties currently under negotiation or consideration would further these objectives, and the
operation and effect of international organizations, international courts, and arbitral institutions
on the global legal order.
The Co-Chairs of ILW 2010 are
Professor Elizabeth Burleson of the University of South Dakota
Law School, Elizabeth.Burleson@usd.edu, Hanna Dreifeldt Lainé
of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs, dreifeldt@un.org,
Vincent J. Vitkowsky, Partner, Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP, vvitkowsky@eapdlaw.com, and
Jill Schmieder Hereau, Program Coordinator at the International
Law Students Association, jshereau@ilsa.org.
One of the objectives of ILW 2010 is to promote a dialogue among scholars and practitioners from across the legal spectrum.
Panels at past ILWs have addressed a wide range of topics related to
public and private international law.
