The Florida Bar’s International Law Section (ILS) is still looking for writers to help it update its ILS Deskbook set for publication in Spring 2025.
In the interest of ensuring that the ILD stays on the cutting edge of legal developments in the international law space, the editorial board has decided to add several new chapters to the existing contents. An earlier call for writers succeeded in matching writers for over half of the targeted new chapters.
However, the section still have a few new chapters that need authors, including:
- International Transportation Law (Marine, Air, Rail, Truck)
- Internet/e-Commerce (including Web3, FinTech, AI, Blockchain, etc.)
- International Environmental Law
- International Entertainment, Arts, and Sports Law
While there is no minimum or maximum length required for an ILD chapter, chapters in the first edition ranged from 10 to 30(+) single spaced, Blue Booked pages. As one of only two deskbooks published in the United States on the subject of international law, the section says this is a “unique opportunity to demonstrate your expertise and thought leadership on a global scale.”
April 1 is the deadline for expressing interest. Other deadlines are:
- May 1: Deadline for submitting chapter outline.
- July 15: Deadline for submitting first draft.
- October 1: Deadline for submitting final draft.
- December 15: Delivery to printer.
- February 15, 2025: Available for purchase in either hard copy or downloadable e-book form.
