University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
The Inter-American Law Review (IALR) (formerly Lawyer of the Americas) is a scholarly international legal periodical run entirely by second and third year law students at the University of Miami School of Law. The review is devoted to providing a forum through which legal scholars, practitioners, and students discuss major international and inter-American legal and legally-related developments. IALR is recognized as the only student-run periodical to focus solely on legal issues which directly affect Latin America and the Caribbean. With the continuing emergence of Miami as a center of international trade, finance, and law, the focus of IALR becomes increasingly important and relevant to the surrounding environs.
Lawyers, businesspersons, professors, and students of law, political science, and international commerce will find the IALR a valuable source of information for recent legal developments in the Western Hemisphere and around the globe. The IALR publishes scholarly articles, comments, and casenotes addressing inter-American and international legal issues, both of a scholarly and of a practical nature, including such areas as:
- Immigration & Refugees
- International Banking & Finance
- Employment & Labor Law
- Latin American Economic Integration & NAFTA
- Taxation
- Maritime Law
- Aviation
- Human Rights & International Organizations
The Inter-American Law Review also includes the following special features as an aid to members of the legal profession:
- Reviews of recently published books in the field of international law
- Lists of inter-American & international source materials & periodical articles published in the United States & Latin America
- Resolutions of the Inter-American Bar Association
- Legal memoranda prepared by major firms in the United States, Canada and Latin America
SYMPOSIUM 2012
The Haitian State: Creating Sustainability Going Forward
Date: March 30 at 9:00 a.m.
The 2012 IALR Roundtable will focus on the state of Haiti and the reasonableness of creating sustainability going into the future. The State has been in complete disarray for decades, with an end nowhere in sight. To add to the problems, on January 12, 2010, the country was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake. This earthquake caused the deaths of an estimated three hundred thousand citizens and left approximately one million homeless.
This Roundtable will, in a scholarly manner, (1) assess the current situation in Haiti through both a political and judicial examination; (2) determine the viability of the state going forward; and (3) if it is determined there is long term viability for the state, assess the proper next steps to make that chance a reality.
