Newsletter from the Academy Alumni Secretary General 2007-2008

Dear Friends,

It is with great pleasure that I became Secretary General of the Academy Alumni, through election by the 2007 Academy of American and International Law participants. The entire class is proud to become alumni by virtue of our graduation from the Academy. We look forward to participating in this wonderful group of lawyers from around the world.

During the coming year, I will update you with the news of our projects for 2007-2008. I ask each of you to be in touch with me about items from your personal and professional life which you would like me to share in a Newsletter to the Alumni.

Let us be a real Family that unites and includes all of us, WE ARE THE WORLD!

We are only a few short weeks away from the European Alumni meeting in Helsinki (October 4-6, 2007) . We hope that many of you will be able to attend. The group celebrated its twentieth year last year. For further information, please see the CAIL website where Onni Koivu (2005 Secretary General), our host for the event, has posted all the information:

 The Latin American Alumni meeting will be held March 1-2, 2008 in Mexico . This will coincide with the IBA-Americas portion of the IBA meeting which will take place February 28-29. Please plan your itinerary at this early stage so that you will be able to attend. Key planners for the event are Marie Galindo (Mexico ) and Petrusca Leite (Brazil ).

The Academy Alumni E-Magazine is posted on the Alumni page of the CAIL website. For those who send us your articles, we thank you. We need additional articles on current legal matters. They will be posted to the site and will not be edited in any fashion. Please refer to the E-Magazine which is linked to the Alumni website.
