Georgia Bar to Hold 24th Annual ALI Breakfast

Professor Jane C. Ginsburg of Columbia University School of Law, one of the Reporters for the new ALI project, Intellectual Property: Principles Governing Jurisdiction, Choice of Law, and Judgments in Transnational Disputes, will speak about the project at the 24th Annual Breakfast of Georgia ALI members and the State Bar of Georgia on February 17 in Atlanta. This subject is of such intense and immediate interest that two sections of the State Bar—the International Law Section and the Intellectual Property Section—have joined the traditional cosponsor, the Judicial Procedure and Administration Committee, to sponsor the event with the ALI. The breakfast event committee is composed of Senior Judge Dorothy Toth Beasley of the Court of Appeals of Georgia, the event’s originator and a life member of the ALI; Pamela L.Tremayne, Chair of the Judicial Procedure and Administration Committee; Anton F. Mertens, Chair of the International Law Section; ALI member James C. Nobles, Jr., a member of that Section; and Douglas M. Isenberg, Chair of the Intellectual Property Law Section. Michelle Priester, Director of Meetings for the State Bar, may be contacted at michelle@gabar.org for additional information and reservations.
