Despite the fact that I love New technologies, I'd prefer to have a real association having a conference held somewhere where you can talk to people in the eyes :)
blockquote>

You can talk to people and look then in the eyes also through the Net ;-)...

I consider technology an enormous opportunity to create something truly "new" and with extraordinary possibilities of growth.

At the end of the day what u need is a pc, an internet connection, a microphone ad a webcam (...better if you get a Skype.com account...free voice over IP to communicate almost everywhere on the planet...from and to US the line is clear and stable and, by the way, I advice all the internationals to get it in order to save thousand of dollars in int. calls...)

Any way if you like to hold a conference at Bahamas, it's fine for me too, but I guess that something like the Net International Jurists Association (NIJA...sounds cool :-)...) would be more apt to the times and, in particular, it's a solution able to reduce the problems arising from the economical issue...

Anyway the traditional and the virtual association could coexist...but let's argue about that in the yahoo forum and shape step by step the form of things to come...

Take Care

Hi Bitsou,

I would also be interested in your project.
I guess that we will have plenty of time to discuss it at Stanford. For now, I would just ask you to put me on the list (I'm from Belgium and you have my contact details already).
Thanks for this initiative.

Bitsou,
I told you!
What suddently move! I knew people would be interested in such terrific idea!
How many we are now?
We have people from Swiss, Italy, Brazil, Russia, Luxemburg, France, India and others... fantastic.
I agree with the idea of starting with something more informal and, then, develop the hole thing in something more organized.
I also agrre with the idea of a forum like yahoo groups in order to have better communication!
As you know, my personal email is joaopedro@scalzilli.com.br.
Best regards!!!

Hello,

For all those of you who are interested, the discussion on the yahoo forum related to the creation of the association have started (fairly enthusiastically I have to say). Some good may come out of it if we all work together :)

For those who were invited, please accept as soon as can be, for those who are interested, please give me your private e-mails asap. The more we are, the better it will be.

Kind Regards

Bitsou and all the others:

I think it sounds really interesting to create a new association/network for young lawyers, but I do not have time to play an active role right now (to much work in my job theses days). I would really appreciate it though if you could give regular updates on your progress with the organization in this board!

I think other board users may be in the same situation and may want to join later, so this may be a good way to stay in contact...

Dear All,
The idea sounds good, but in order to create a respectable and noteworthy organization it should be established some criteria (scope, admission criteria, etc.) differentiate it from other associations. There are already many international young lawyers association all over the world. In Italy, for instance there is ALMA which gathers young lawers who have taken the LLM in some chosen Universties. Anyway, there should be at least one first meeting amongst the persons who want to constitute it and lay down the principles just as well as in any other company (create the articles of association with the relevant contents... ) One should narrow down the fileds of interest of this association as from my point of view it cannot be just the Law...
I am ready to consider your suggestion further.

Hello Arnauld,

Yes, things are moving step by step. We now have 42 members from different countries (mainly Europe and South America, some Asian as well).

We just adopted our name (International Legal and Academic Society, ILAS), our future website, our statutes, and we are currently electing our 9 Executive Committee Members.

I hope that we'll have a small website by the time everybody moves in the US, so as to try and advertise about it.

On the whole, I'd say that things go very fine :)

Hello,

Yes, the association exists and there is an existing website at www.ilas.org. However, while the activities were numerous one year ago, there has been hardly anything going on for the last months as everybody is currently doing his/her LLM and/or has other priorities.

To be honest, I don't know what the future of the association will be. Just let me know in private if you're nevertheless interested.

Kind Regards
