The University of Miami Inter-American Law Review (formerly the Lawyer of the Americas) provides a scholarly forum in which major international and inter-American legal developments are discussed. Founded in 1969, the University of Miami Inter-American Law Review is an extension of Miami’s unique position as the “gateway to the Americas.” Dedicated to recent legal developments in the Western Hemisphere, the University of Miami Inter-American Law Review publishes articles, book reviews, case notes, comments, current reports, and special features by distinguished authorities twice per year. Past topics include international banking and finance, taxation, international trade and commerce, the oceans and aviation, immigration, and Latin American economic integration. Additionally, the Review publishes articles in foreign languages, including those in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Haitian-Creole. The University of Miami Inter-American Law Review itself has over 800 alumni practicing around the world. In addition to publication, the University of Miami Inter-American Law Review hosts its annual “Lawyer of the Americas” banquet, which honors a member of the legal community who has demonstrated outstanding and exemplary legal service on a domestic and international scale. Past honorees include federal judges, ambassadors, and prominent legal practitioners. The University of Miami Inter-American Law Review is available on Westlaw, Lexis, and Hein Online, as well as the University of Miami Institutional Repository website at http://repository.law.miami.edu/umialr/, as well as on our organizational website at http://inter-americanlaw-review.law.miami.edu.
