New York is the most exciting city in the world—the waves of immigration to New York have created a unique, diverse, and vibrant culture and city. New York’s entrepreneurial spirit makes it not just a global financial center but a global legal center. The Spring Meeting—held biennially in New York—is one of the world’s most important gatherings of international practitioners. More than 1,400 attendees from 49 countries participated in the 2010 Spring Meeting in New York, and we expect an even greater attendance this year. The Grand Hyatt New York will serve as both our programming headquarters and as our headquarters hotel. We will have wonderful receptions at the Grand Hyatt, the Union League Club, and the incomparable Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Spring Meeting Co-Chairs, members of the Planning Committee, and Section staff have invested a tremendous amount of effort to develop an outstanding program. Spring Meeting attendees will include high-level practitioners with the largest and most respected global law firms; lawyers with the most prominent regional and national firms inside and outside the U.S.; U.S.-based small-firm and solo practitioners with significant international practice; corporate and in-house counsel; lawyers serving in government or with non-governmental organizations and inter-governmental organizations; and academics. ABA International is the “ABA home” for the world’s leading international practitioners, and the 2012 Spring Meeting is a “Must-Attend” meeting for lawyers with a practice or interest in international legal issues. Please note: Early Bird Registration Deadline is February 27, 2012. Take advantage of the low registration rates for individual and group attendees!

  • Annual Report 2009-2010
    OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN ENGLISH SERVICES ANNUAL REPORT 2009-2010 TABLE OF CONTENTS The Ombudsman’s Report 2 Le Rapport de l’ombudsman des services anglais 4 (French translation of The Ombudsman’s Report) Complaints reviewed by the Ombudsman 5 APPENDICES I Chart: Number of communications received 55 II Mandate of the Office of the Ombudsman 56 THE OMBUDSMAN’S REPORT 2009-10 Valedictories can often be formulaic. In this case, it is heart-felt. As I conclude my term as Ombudsman, I take away renewed respect for the consumers of CBC journalism and for the journalists who present it. A faithful reader of my reviews and reports will know that our journalistic work is not perfect—a state almost unimaginable for any group of human beings. But the broad sweep of conclusions shows that the organization remains committed to trying to practice journalism at a very high level, often under difficult circumstances. It has been heartening to note the respect with which the Ombudsman’s work has been received inside the organization and the thoughtfulness and care that has gone into the search for remedies when such are required. There have been less-heartening signs as well: the increasingly nasty tone of some of the correspondence, particularly from those with strong viewpoints on both domestic and international issues. While I should note the depth of knowledge and commitment by many of those who write, there is all too often a slide into language well outside what should be the parameters of intelligent discourse. It is probably now a cliché to note the influence of various modes of almost instant communication and of a political atmosphere in North America increasingly dominated by “shouting” instead of discussion.
