Message from the Chair
On February 3 and 4, 2010, at the ABA Midyear Meeting in Orlando, Florida, the Committee will welcome HIV lawyers, social workers, and health care professionals to its fifth bi-annual HIV/AIDS Law and Practice Conference. Part of the Committee's "Road to Vienna" programming series (see information below), this year's conference, themed "Taking Stock, Looking Ahead," will examine developments in HIV law, policy, practice and advocacy during the Bush Administration and consider likely priorities of the Obama Administration. In a new feature, the conference also will provide information and training to health care professionals on the legal dimensions of care and treatment for people living with HIV or AIDS and how that knowledge can help them better serve their patients.
Chair
The Road to Vienna
The Committee will submit program proposals to the International AIDS Society for presentation at the 18th International AIDS Conference as part of the track entitled "Policy, Law, Human Rights and Political Science." The conference will be held in July 2010 in Vienna, Austria, where more than 25,000 stakeholders are expected to converge for ten days of programs and meetings exploring cutting-edge issues in HIV-related science, policy and law. Leading up to AIDS 2010, the Committee will present several programs on HIV and the Rule of Law:
