Welcome

to the home page of the International Association of Korean Lawyers (IAKL)!

The IAKL is an organization that brings together lawyers in Korea and lawyers of Korean descent, as well as other interested persons from around the world. The IAKL was founded in 1988 and holds annual international conferences that have attracted attorneys, judges, law professors, and students from throughout the United States and Korea, as well as Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Panama, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Singapore, Germany, Belgium, France, England, and other countries. The most recent IAKL conference was held in Chicago, Illinois in September 2010. The next IAKL conference will take place in Seoul, Korea, from September 29 to October 2, 2011.

The IAKL has created this web site to increase our ability to "build bridges" between lawyers of Korean heritage from different countries, generations, practices, and cultures. We encourage you to become a member of the IAKL. Photographs and detailed profiles of members are included in our membership directory. Information about recent news and upcoming events is available here, as well as information from regional Korean bar associations and links to other sites that may be of interest to IAKL members.
