Each October, the American Branch presents International Law Weekend (ILW) in New York City. This two-and-a-half-day conference features over 30 panels, and many of the world’s leading international lawyers and diplomats participate. Warren Binford, JD, EdM, professor, Section of Child Abuse and Neglect/Kempe, was recently named co-chair of International Law Weekend (ILW) 2024 in New York City, October 24–26, “In honor of the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child.” Binford is organizing a reception with UNICEF, sponsored by the Kempe Foundation, at their headquarters the evening of Friday, October 25th, celebrating the 100th anniversary of international children’s rights.

In recent years, keynote luncheon speakers have included the president of the American Society of International Law and the Legal Adviser to the U.S. Department of State. Gala receptions have been hosted by the Finnish, Belgian, British, and Singapore missions to the United Nations. Recent ILWs have attracted an audience of over 1,200 practitioners, academics, U.N. diplomats, business leaders, federal and state government officials, NGO leaders, journalists, students, and interested citizens. Registration for ILW is very reasonably priced as a service to our members. It is free for students. Sponsorship by law firms, universities, and interested practitioners is welcomed and recognized.
