“Membership in the ABA Section of International Law has proven to be 100% positive and I recommend joining….If you are involved in any type of international legal issues, it is “the” place to be.”

“By being a member of the Section, I can reach out to leading experts around the world on a wide range of legal issues that my clients encounter.  Instead of just reading materials about the issues, I have been able to talk directly to lawyers and judges who have made the law that others merely write about.”

“The Section has provided me with unparalleled opportunity for professional growth, in offering occasions to develop expertise and profile in new areas of law and engage in policy development, beyond the immediate needs of clients.  This in turn enabled me to serve clients in new areas.”

" I spent the second half of my 1L summer working for the international law firm of Demarest & Almeida Advogados (attorneys) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  I found this amazing opportunity through the ABA Section of International Law’s International Internship Program website.  This internship helped me to gain practical legal experience in the international spectrum during my first law school summer.  I am one step closer to my goal of one day practicing in the international transactional field.”
