International Law Section

The 2007/2008 CBA Section Chair: Frank Schuchat
CBA Staff Liaison: Andrea Mueller, amueller@cobar.org

The committee presents monthly luncheon programs on a broad variety of topics relating to international law and practice. Recent programs have addressed negotiating and documenting international letters of credit, U.S. jurisdiction in war crimes trials, the applicability of treaties to private business transactions, compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and intellectual property issues in international settings. The committee also serves as an unofficial link with the ABA International Law Section. Attorneys who currently have international practices or are interested in the area are invited to join the committee and attend the programs to increase their understanding of this field.
