Conference: International Law Weekend West - 2011

The International Law Association (American Branch) will hold its biennial conference International Law Weekend - West, February 26, 2011, at Southwestern Law School. The theme is "2021: International Law Ten Years from Now." I noted the call for papers here. The schedule is here. Here's the idea:
2021: International Law Ten Years From Now 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 and analyze their potential impacts in shaping the future of international law. Topics will include 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.
