KEEPING CURRENT

The American Bar Association (ABA) Section on International Law has numerous committees dedicated to substantive issues within public international law (e.g., international courts, international health law, national security, international environmental law, international human rights, immigration and naturalization). Depending on the committee, listservs may distribute news, event announcements, job notices and other information. In addition, the International Law Section website, www.abanet.org/intlaw/home.html, has a Student Headquarters with information about their Law Student Listserv, internships, and other opportunities.

The professional and interest groups of the American Society of International Law (ASIL) sponsor listservs on a variety of international law topics. Each Internet list has its own policies, but many distribute job information. You must be a member of ASIL to participate. In addition ASIL has information on internships and fellowships in this area. Just click on Resources, then Career Development. There are discount rates for students, new attorneys, and those in lower income brackets. For descriptions of the different groups, go to the ASIL website (www.asil.org) and follow the subject links or click Membership, then Interest Groups.
