The International Law and Practice Section Is Now the International Practice Section

We are pleased to announce that the International Law and Practice Section has a new name. The NCBA Board of Governors has approved our changing our name from the International Law and Practice Section to the International Practice Section. Being lawyers, much thought — and discussion — went into this name change.  Essentially, our new name is more accurate, incorporating diverse areas of legal practice such as immigration law. It also accurately reflects that many legal practices contain cross-border issues without being engaged in the practice of public international law. By changing our name, we position ourselves as a more inclusive Section that recognizes and provides value added to the diverse practices of our current and future Section members.
