The International Law Section of The Florida Bar (ILS) is where international law practitioners come to elevate their practice with cutting-edge resources, expert-led events, and a dynamic network of professionals shaping the future of international law. The International Law Section of The Florida Bar (ILS) is a forum for the exchange of hot-button, need-to-know information and best practices tha

t impact the practice of international law. It is also a forum for the sharing of knowledge, experience, and “best practices” that may improve the administration and application of the statutes, rules, and regulations of international law and enhance the proficiency of practitioners.
