ASIL International Economic Law Interest Group
ASIL Interest Groups are organized by ASIL members for focused activity
in particular fields of international law. Membership in ASIL is
required for membership in ASIL Interest Groups.
The International Economic Law Interest Group promotes academic
interest, discussion, research and publication on subjects broadly
related to the transnational movement and regulation of goods, services,
persons and capital. International law topics include trade law,
economic integration law, private law, business regulation, financial
law, tax law, intellectual property law and the role of law in development.
The group is interested in diverse interdisciplinary explorations
of public and private international and municipal law, and is particularly
interested in promoting the work and interests of new practitioners
and scholars in the field. In addition to sponsoring panels at the
ASIL Annual Meeting and co-sponsoring conferences, the group also
holds annual or bi-annual conferences, following an open Call for
Papers sent to group members. All IELG conferences are organized
with the objective of addressing pressing and important issues in
international economic law, including the role and development of
the multilateral trading system and particularly the World Trade
Organization. Research generated by these conferences have regularly
been published as symposia in law review journals, and are often
considered some of the most influential and cutting-edge scholarship
in the field. The group also publishes a newsletter.
