Dear ILS,
I am proud to share the exciting news that the Fall 2024 International Law Quarterly (ILQ) has officially been published! This edition has a Focus on Extraterritoriality and the articles touch on a wide array of interesting topics. Are you curious to understand the rumblings of the threatened TikTok ban in the U.S.? What about having a better appreciation for how far certain U.S. criminal laws reach abroad? Or the complexities of foreign adoption and derivative citizenship?
DON’T DELAY and download a copy of the ILQ today! Link available to the digital copy below, and hard copies will be available at our upcoming ILS in-person events.
Kudos to the ILQ team for another excellent publication! The Winter 2025 ILQ is slated for release in February 2025. If you’re interested in writing an article for future ILQ editions, please contact the phenomenal and hard-working Co-Editors Jeff Hagen (jhagen@harpermeyer.com) and Jennifer Mosquera (jmosquera@sequorlaw.com).
Have a great week!

If you are reading the Gazette, chances are that you are a practitioner or a student with an interest in International Law, one of the most wide-ranging, exciting and challenging legal specialties. Everyone in our field knows how crucial it is to stay on top of diverse and evolving national legal regimes, and at the same time, the difficulty of keeping meticulously up-to-date on developments around the world.
The International Law Section (ILS) of The Florida Bar is here to help you, the practitioner, navigate both the everyday and big-picture challenges of our field. Our Section is your forum to share knowledge and best practices, and to meet and mingle with peers in professional collaborations that can only enhance your grasp of the specialty and your standing among clients and peers.
Let ILS membership assist you in developing a thriving international practice through peer network development that includes important shared learnings and reciprocal referrals of clients and casework.
If your practice transcends borders, join us in making this the authoritative, go-to forum for Florida and the gateway to the region for anyone practicing International Law. Our Section is open to lawyers from other states and countries, full-time faculty at U.S. law schools, and full-time U.S. law students, all of whom may participate as associate members.
