Program Calendar
Committee Business Meeting Moved From ABA August Annual Meeting to Section CLE Conference in November in Philadelphia
Committee Members: Please note that the Section of Labor & Employment Law is holding a “stand-alone” CLE Conference in Philadelphia from November 7-10. In light of this development, Committee Business Meetings, including the Business Meeting of the International Labor and Employment Law Committee, will take place at the Philadelphia rather than at the ABA’s Annual Meeting (that is being held this year in August in San Francisco). Our Committee will also sponsor CLE programs at the Philadelphia meeting. Further information is available at http://www.abanet.org/labor/news_annual_conference.shtml .
Joining the Section or the Committee
Please encourage attorneys outside the United States that you work with to consider joining the ABA and the Section if they are not now members, and to attend the committee's midyear meeting and/or other Section meetings, including the annual meeting. Information on associate membership for foreign attorneys is available from Judy Stofko (stofkoj@staff.abanet.org). General membership information is provided at http://www.abanet.org/labor/llmember.html.
