The Future of International Law
American Society of International Law
March 28 - 31, 2007
Washington, DC

As the American Society of International Law enters its second century, the 101st Annual Meeting will challenge scholars and practitioners to reflect on "The Future of International Law." While the future cannot be predicted, certain trends are shifting the stakes of the international order. The 101st Annual Meeting will generate and inform ideas about the future of international law and the role of international lawyers. Our challenge is to assess these and other trends while at the same time interrogating claims of their "newness." We must temper our visions of the future’s promise and peril with the recognition that such visions, whether utopian or dystopian, can distract from our treatment of the present. Understanding and molding our transition into the future will require critical thinking, creativity, interdisciplinary focus, and a willingness to take risks.
