The Academy is particularly valuable if you are a lawyer from outside the U.S. who works for a multi-national corporation or for a law firm that represents either U.S. clients or multi-national clients with U.S. interests. The Academy is not intended for the highly experienced international lawyer. If you are a corporate General Counsel or Law-firm Managing Partner, here’s what you can expect by sending someone to the Academy: . A practical introduction of the U.S. legal system and international business law, including topics that range from international business transactions to legal writing and international litigation. The instructors are expert law professors, judges, and legal practitioners (see page 19 for an introduction to many of this year’s Academy faculty and pages 20–21 for a list of topics). A worldwide network of business contacts . Increased awareness of the dynamics of international business by developing relationships with classmates from more than 20 countries across the world. Five weeks of first-hand experience in U.S. culture in a variety of contexts, ranging from law firm receptions to a Texas Rodeo. Sharpened language skills through immersion in English. Go to page 2 to explore your pricing options. If you yourself are thinking about attending the Academy, consider these additional benefits: . Learn through a variety of interactive sessions, including a mock civil trial, a law firm simulation, and negotiation simulations. Earn recognition as an Academy Fellow – In addition to the Certificate of Participation that each participant earns by attending class each day, you may also earn a certificate as an Academy Fellow by taking and passing a series of short exams during the Academy. Enjoy a variety of extra-curricular events that all will attend, including a professional baseball game, a rodeo, law school and law firm receptions, an international food festival, tours of Dallas and Fort Worth, and an end-of-Academy talent show.

CAIL, founded in 1947, is recognized as a major national and international forum for continuing legal and professional education. SWIICL seeks to promote the rule of law in international transactions. The Institute emphasizes business transactions with programs focusing on practical issues that confront lawyers, business executives, and policy-makers in the international community. Lecturers are drawn not only from academia but also from the world of international law practice. The Institute’s Symposium on Global Markets and its Academy of American and International Law are offered annually. The Symposium serves as an important annual forum for lawyers, business leaders, and government officials to learn about recent developments in international and comparative law. The Symposium facilitates an understanding of the increasingly complex laws and political realities that influence international business relationships. Academy participants attend the Symposium as part of the Academy curriculum. SWIICL has also launched other programs for international lawyers. SWIICL’s members are corporations, law firms, and individuals from around the world. Together they form a network of international legal professionals who serve the legal community and the rule of law. SWIICL invites you or your organization to become a member.
