Network with international law practitioners throughout the
world by joining the International Section! With members located throughout the
United States and in many foreign countries, more than 50 Chapters in major
cities around the world, and regular annual meetings in major foreign capitals
and international business centers that are jointly hosted with major foreign
bar associations, the Section provides important resources to attorneys who
practice law internationally.
To be eligible for membership in the Section, you must
first join NYSBA but do not have to be admitted to practice in New
York. To be a NYSBA member, you must be admitted to the practice of law in a
state or foreign jurisdiction and be in good standing in that jurisdiction. New
members must include proof of your admission/good standing to the practice of
law. (Usual proof is a certificate of admission from the jurisdiction in which
you are admitted, with an English translation, if necessary).
To join this Section by phone, call the Member Resource Center at (800) 582-2452 during business hours.
How much are Section dues? Very affordable with NYSBA membership. View the price list here (scroll down for Section dues).
