The Year in Review

The Year in Review, previously included as an issue of The International Lawyer, is now its own annual publication of the American Bar Association's International Law Section. It has had a place as a prestigious ABA publication since 1966 and has called SMU Dedman School of Law its home since 1986.
The Year in Review, as its name suggests, is an annual survey of the law from around the world. On average, thirty to forty Committees of the ABA International Law Section contribute to the publication and capture the germane legal developments, key pieces of legislation, and landmark decisions that help to shape the legal tapestry of their respective countries and areas of interest. Catering to the ABA ILS membership and others, The Year in Review shares in the same readership as The International Lawyer, and is the most widely distributed U.S. international law survey in the world, enjoying subscriptions of approximately 11,000 readers in more than 90 countries. Submissions are made annually by Committee Editors on behalf of their respective ABA International Law Section Committees.
This collection contains the Year in Review issues beginning with Volume 50. Earlier issues are within The International Lawyer collection.
