The American Branch of the International Law Association has issued a call for papers for International Law Weekend-West, which will be hosted by Southwestern Law School, February 25-26-2011, in Los Angeles. Here's the call:

Every other year the American Branch holds International Law Weekend-West. The next ILW-West will take place February 25-26, 2011, at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary. The theme of the conference is: "2021: International Law Ten Years from Now." The conference will examine a broad range of legal areas that are coping with and adjusting to the challenges of conflict, technology, and globalization in the modern era. Panels will identify significant developments or issues related to a specific area of international law – e.g., international arbitration and litigation, international finance, international transactions, international trade, international human rights, climate change and international environmental law, international criminal law, and legal developments of note in Latin America or Asia – and analyze their potential impacts in shaping the future of international law. This conference will examine current international issues and trends by assessing what the future may look like. Proposals from those interested in chairing or speaking on a panel may be directed to Professor Robert Lutz at rlutz[at]swlaw.edu. (Proposals are particularly invited from those in the western United States.)
