IBA response to the pandemic

The International Bar Association (IBA) will hold a ‘unique and dynamic’ virtual annual conference in November, replacing the previous scheduling for Miami

Miami will instead be the venue for the 2022 annual conference, with Paris remaining the venue for next year’s conference, on 17-22 October 2021.

In a message to members this week, IBA President Horacio Bernardes Neto and Executive Director Mark Ellis reminded its members they were ‘family’ and would ‘weather the storm’ of COVID-19.

The IBA management board has set aside £100,000 for frontline legal aid clinics and is working with members to identify potential recipients.

During the pandemic, the IBA has produced more than 17 online seminars, and intends to hold a further 25 in the next two months. It provides information on its response to the crisis at www.ibanet.org/DigitalContent.aspx.
