History
The institute was founded in 1955 at the
Beginning in the early 1970s—under the leadership of a new director, Professor Don Wallace Jr., of Georgetown[18] - the ILI expanded its focus to include professional training in the legal, economic, and financial problems of developing countries. An early collaborator in this work was Professor Robert Hellawell[19] of Columbia University Law School.
The earliest courses offered were Foreign Investment Negotiation and International Procurement[citation needed]. Since then the curriculum has evolved to reflect, and promote, the centrality of the private sector and an enabling role on the part of the public sector in promoting the conditions for economic growth[citation needed]. This direction was heightened in the early 1990s when the institute's work expanded to include the problems facing nations formerly part of the Soviet Union as they began to make the transition to market economies and the rule of law[citation needed].
Today the International Law Institute is an independent, not-for-profit organization.[5] It continues to work closely with Georgetown University,[20] as well as with numerous corporations, international organizations,[21][22] and governments.[23]
Publications
The International Law Institute publishes numerous publications. The most notable is The Digest of United States Practice in International Law, covering developments in U.S. International Law annually, published with the assistance of the US State Department and the Oxford University Press. The Digest is available both in print and on the State Department's website.[24] The posting on the web is the Department of State's Office of the Legal Adviser and the International Law Institute's attempt to make the historical record of U.S. practice of international law accessible.
The Digest traces its history back to an 1877 treatise[25] by John Lambert Cadwalader, which was followed by multi-volume encyclopedias by Francis Wharton (1886), John Bassett Moore[26] (1906), Green Hackworth[27] (1940–1943) and Marjorie Whiteman[28](1963–1971), and an annual Digest beginning in 1973 under the editorship of Arthur Rovine and later Marion Nash Leich, which concluded with cumulative volumes for 1981–1988.[29] Although publication was temporarily suspended after 1988, the office resumed publication in 2000 and has since produced volumes covering 1989 through 2008. A cumulative index covering 1989-2006 was published in 2007, and an updated edition of that index, covering 1989-2008 will be published in 2010.[needs update][30]
In addition, the ILI publishes books on international and transnational commercial law, trade, litigation, commercial dispute resolution, and foreign legal systems.[31] Recent and ongoing ILI publications include Introduction to Legal English, by Mark Wojcik, now in its third edition, designed to introduce legal English to law students and lawyers whose first language is not English;[32] and International Judicial Assistance, by Bruno A. Ristau and Michael Abbell,[33] a seven-volume work designed as a practical guide for attorneys engaged in transnational litigation.
