The International Law News (ILN) is the Section’s newsletter and keeps Section members informed about current international law developments and important Section news. The ILN publishes articles on breaking issues for practitioners in the international arena to assist them in gaining helpful insights into the hot issues and obtaining concrete how to advice on practicing international law in the market place. The ILN also publishes regular columns on careers, public and private law initiatives, survival guides to cities, and pros and cons columns on breaking issues of general interest. The ILN is intended to give practitioners helpful insights and guidelines to doing business in the international arena.

The International Lawyer (TIL) is the Section’s award-winning quarterly scholarly journal. With a worldwide circulation of more than 15,000, TIL publishes substantive articles on current issues and developments in international law and practice, as well as noteworthy papers from Section programs and the Section’s reports and recommendations to the ABA House of Delegates. The Summer issue contains the Year-in-Review, a review of significant developments in international law over the past year.

Annually, each Section committee drafts and submits a Year in Review report on the most important international developments in their area of expertise. These reports are then posted on each committee's website.

The ILN publishes City Survival Guides—written by SIL members—sharing important “survival” tips about cities abroad. The articles include special insights on business hours, etiquette, transportation, hotels, and much more to enhance your professional and personal international travel experience.

The Section publishes books on significant topics in international law and practice. In particular the Section has a branded series of books entitled the “International Practitioner Deskbook Series,” which cover specific topics of interest to international practitioners.

Many Section Committees publish periodic newsletters. They can be located in the library section of the committee webpages.
