International Conference on Legislation and Law Reform (iLegis)

The International Conference on Legislation and Law Reform is a program of the Capitol Hill Chapter of the Federal Bar Association. It was started in 2013 by a group of attorneys who wanted to create a platform for the exchange of ideas and expertise on how laws are written in the United States and around the world at the international, national, and subnational levels. Over the years, we have brought together a passionate and dedicated international community interested in the drafting and reform of laws. The organizing committee for the Conference is composed of over a dozen attorneys, hailing from federal and state legislative counsel offices, various government agencies, and private practice. We also count among our organizers esteemed law professors from several law schools across the United States. The organizing committee operates on a 100% volunteer basis. We hold the Conference in Washington, DC, every 1-2 years. A typical Conference brings together 15-25 renowned speakers and over 100 participants coming from six continents. We also regularly host live webinars on issues of importance in legislation and law reform.
