From the Chair
Friends and Colleagues,
Our “best-ever” DC Spring Meeting is now behind us, thanks to the hard work and dedication of our Spring Meeting Co-chairs, Meaghan McGrath Beaumont, Lori Sostowski and Marcy Stras. The meeting is a part of our continuing history and leadership in the field of international law. We had the largest attendance “ever” for a Section meeting in Washington, the most programs “ever” (over 85), the largest representation of lawyers practicing outside the US, the most countries, the greatest number of ticketed events, wonderful venues (the US Federal Court of Appeals, the Kennedy Center, and the Diplomatic Rooms of the State Department), and terrific speakers, including our featured luncheon speakers, Michael Oxley and Abbe David Lowell. Starting with the reception on Tuesday night and continuing through the Council Meeting on Saturday morning, we presented the following major awards:
