First Award to be made at New Delhi Conference

The IBA Council have decided to award a Prize in order to stimulate the writing and publishing of articles which, on an international level, treat topics of special interest to the legal profession and the practising lawyer. The first award will be made at the IBA's Nineteenth Conference to be held in New Delhi from 18-23 October, 1982 and will consist of £750 and an engraved medal. Second and third prizes may also be awarded consisting of £200 and £100 respectively together with a diploma. The Topic chosen for the 1982 Award is: The role of legal mechanisms in regulating acts performed outside the domestic jurisdiction with particular reference to the activities of multi-national companies in less developed countries. Treatment of the Topic may cover one or more aspects. Examples of matters that could be considered are, trade in harmful substances, Arab boycott clauses in commercial contracts, violations of exchange control laws, possibly Swiss confidentiality laws, taxation of companies operating outside the domestic jurisdiction, and difficulties in securing international treaties. This list is in no way exclusive. Articles on the topic must not exceed 10,000 words and must be submitted in English. The prize-winning article or articles will be published in the Association's Journals. The contest is open to any lawyer under the age of 40. He or she does not have to be an IBA member. Entries must be sent to the IBA headquarters by June 1, 1982. Judging will be by a Committee of three with a Chairman appointed by the British Institute of International and Comparative Law. The Committee shall, in its complete discretion, be free to recommend that no awards be given if none of the articles submitted are of sufficient quality. •
