A Tribute to The International Lawyer

It is a distinct honor to provide a few thoughts to the fiftieth year

celebration issue of The International Lawyer.

I have been the proud recipient of The International Lawyer for over a

decade and I watch for each issue with anticipation. I am a litigator, and I

am amazed at the breadth of articles on dispute-related topics. However,

The International Lawyer offers so much more that is of interest to its readers.

It is a resource for practice specific topics, and a guiding light for issues

relating to human rights and the rule of law.

The Section of International Law has been a proud partner with the

faculty and students of SMU Dedman School of Law. SMU’s devotion year

after year to producing a high quality resource for the international legal

community is truly phenomenal and the appreciation of the ABA Section of

International Law knows no bounds. The professional caliber of the staff is

unparalleled. Thank you also to the many Section members who have

edited The International Lawyer over the years.

The International Lawyer will face challenges going forward as readers

move to digital resources. Knowing how vital international law issues will

continue to be in the coming years, I am sure that The International Lawyer

will remain a relevant and indispensable resource for practitioners.

Thank you and congratulations on the fiftieth anniversary!
