Dear members:
It is time again to put together a newsletter for the International Law Section.

- case summaries;
- new legislation.
Here are a few guidelines to help with your submission:
- Articles only need to be between 300 and 1,000 words.
- Articles over 1,000 words must be accompanied by a summary or précis (100-300 words).
- Articles can be submitted in French or English.
Please send your submissions to me at margot.hurlbert@uregina.ca . Please also canvass your co-workers and colleagues and ask if they would be interested in making a submission to the newsletter.
Thank you very much for your participation in creating a must-read newsletter for our Section.
Sincerely,
Margot Hurlbert

Background on The Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States (ICSID Convention)
What it is - why it matters - and why lawyers should care that it gets ratified in Canada.
Committees
If you haven’t already done so, I urge you to consider joining one or more of the Section's Committees. The Committees are essentially interest groups and are the best way to get the most out of your Section membership. The Committees activities include teleconferences, brown bag lunches, policy initiatives, listserves communications, newsletters, organizing presentations and postings on the Section’s website. The Committee’s are the premier way for you to network and exchange with leading practitioners who share your interests.
Committee membership is free to all Section members and while your active participation is more than welcome membership involves no time commitment. All Committee members are automatically enrolled in the corresponding Committee listserv.
List of Committees
Join a Committee. Please contact Gathoni Njuguna if you are unable to find the Committee you wish to join.
There is no better way to keep abreast of Section activities and network with other international practitioners than signing up with one or more of the Section’s Committees. The Committees truly are a key portal for your international practice.
Sincerely,
Paul Lalonde,
Past Chair of the International Law Section
Canadian International Lawyer
Two editions of the Canadian International Lawyer journal are distributed as a service to members of the National Section on International Law. Those wishing to submit articles should contact Elo Tulving-Blais.
