Message from the Chair
Welcome to The Florida Bar International Law Section (ILS) website! The ILS has served the lawyers of Florida as an official section of The Florida Bar for 26 years. Our Section comprises Florida lawyers whose practice or interest includes international transactional work, international litigation or arbitration or customs and trade work. We serve our members by providing a repository of valuable referrals for foreign legal counsel, a network of lawyers with experience in facing legal problems unique to particular countries or to handling foreign law issues in Florida jurisdictions, world class seminars and workshops on matters pertinent to international practice, an active lobby program that promotes good legislation benefitting Florida business from the international standpoint and also opportunities to give back to our community through the ILS Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot Precompetition for Florida law schools hosted by the Section in Orlando every Spring. We also serve the entire membership of The Florida Bar by putting a face on the Bar internationally, by serving as Bar delegates to the International Bar Association, by forming partnerships with national and regional bars around the globe and through partner relationships with non-legal international organizations.

Jennifer Kreder - 2009 ILS Vienna Retreat Speaker Summary
on Wednesday, July 01, 2009 - 09:31 PM Posted by: Admin
Law Nazi-looted art has been the subject of much litigation recently and many news reports. In particular, many of the recent claims arise out of events that occurred in Vienna, Austria, the site of our conference, in the aftermath of the 1938 Anchluss of Austria into the Third Reich. Given both the vast magnitude of unrestituted Nazi-looted art and the revival of research into newly opened World War II-era governmental archives, the rise in interest in Nazi-looted art is not surprising even though sixty years have passed since the end of the war. Professor Jennifer Anglim Kreder of Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University explained the history and evolution of claims to artworks displaced during the Nazi era. She has been working on and studying Holocaust litigation since 1999, with a particular emphasis on art claims.

Law In 1999 I stood among a sea of 20,000 desperate people on a dirt airfield outside Skopje, Macedonia, listening to one harrowing story after another. I had come to the Stenkovec refugee camp to record those stories and to help set up a system for documenting atrocities committed in Kosovo.

2009 Vis Pre-competition
on Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - 05:07 PM Posted by: Admin
News Dear Members of the Florida Bar International Law Section,

What a weekend! Last Friday and Saturday, the Florida Bar International Law Section held the 5th Annual International Commercial Arbitration Moot Precompetition in which teams from six Florida law schools competed at our host school, Florida A&M College of Law in downtown Orlando. After a full day of sessions, Stetson Law School took home first place with Florida Coastal performing a close second. Best oralist went to Aisha Sanchez of Stetson. Also competing were University of Florida Levin College of Law, University of Miami, Florida International University and Nova Southeastern University. It was a great showing by all students who have the Section’s congratulations for their performance and hopes for the big competition in Vienna next month. Each of the teams receives $2500 from the Section to help defray expenses associated with the travel to Vienna. Since February 2005, the International Law Section has given more than $60,000 cash to Florida law school teams competing in Vienna. Thanks to all of our hard-working committee members, especially Arnie Lacayo of the Astigarraga Davis Mullins & Grossman law firm, for orchestrating a great program. Thanks also to our arbitrators who gave substantial time to join us and also to our Annual Sponsors without which these events would not be possible. Sponsors of this particular event included Hogan & Hartson, Hunton & Williams, Squire Sanders, McClane Tessitore and Astigarraga Davis.

Dear Members of International Law Section!

We had a series of productive and enjoyable events last week during the Mid-year meeting of the Bar.  Executive Council member Peter Quinter hosted a tour of Miami International Airport behind the scenes on Thursday which was exciting for the participants, the number of which had to be limited because of the great demand.  Thank you for the initiative, Peter.  I will look forward to the Port of Miami tour.
