2015-21161. U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private International Law: Notice of Annual Meeting

The Department of State's Advisory Committee on Private International Law (ACPIL) will hold its annual meeting on Friday, September 25, 2015, in Washington, DC. The meeting will be held at the Gewirz Student Center, Georgetown University Law Center, 600 New Jersey Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20001. The program is scheduled to run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Time permitting, we expect that the discussion will focus on developments in many areas of private international law, including arbitration and conciliation, recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, judicial cooperation, on-line dispute resolution, and potentially new areas of work or development. We encourage active participation by all those attending.

Please advise as early as possible if you plan to attend. The meeting is open to the public up to the capacity of the conference facility, and space will be reserved on a first come, first served basis.
