Publications

Summary of Activities

Given the fact that IPBA members hail from over 67 jurisdictions throughout the world, the IPBA publications, including the IPBA Journal and the IPBA website, are an important source of information to allow members to gain a common understanding of the issues confronting the practice of law in the Asia-Pacific region. In particular, the Publications Committee manages the quarterly publication of the IPBA Journal, the official journal of the IPBA, together with Lexis-Nexis. Further, to enhance the public profile of the IPBA, the Publications Committee is also involved in the development of the IPBA website.

The IPBA Journal

Members of the Publications Committee frequently discuss and decide upon the specific issues confronting practicing attorneys in the Asia-Pacific region that should be covered by the IPBA Journal. Additionally, the Committee actively encourages IPBA members to submit articles for publication. Please refer to the following schedule for submission deadlines for articles to be considered for publication in the IPBA Journal:

Issue	Theme	Deadline for Submission of Articles to be Considered for Publication
June/July 2010	Environmental Law/ Annual Conference Review	May 25, 2010
September 2010	Any article of legal interest or new legal topics accepted!	August 27, 2010
December 2010	Any article of legal interest or new legal topics accepted!	November 19, 2010

In addition to the IPBA Journal, the Publications Committee occasionally manages the publication of articles/papers on topics of current interest to attorneys practicing in the Asia-Pacific region.

Please feel free to contact either Mr. Hideki Kojima or Ms. Caroline Berube if you are interested in submitting an article for publication by the IPBA or if you have any questions, comments or ideas with regard to the IPBA’s publications.
