IC2BE (follow-up of EUPILLAR) final conference 21 and 22 November in Antwerp: Registration

As we have reported earlier, the final conference for the EU-funded IC2BE project will take place in Antwerp on 21 and 22 November 2019.

We are happy to anounce that registration is now open. See here for the programme and free registration (only the dinner is to be paid by attendees). Antwerp is close to Brussels and Amsterdam and can easily be reached by train from either of those cities. There are many hotels providing affordable accommodation.

The conference will discuss the application of the European Enforcement Order (805/2004), European Payment Order (1896/2006), the European Small Claims Procedure (861/2007) and Account Preservation Order (655/2014) in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, and Spain, as well as by the Court of Justice of the EU.

The case law database of the IC2BE project is available here (not yet complete).

National seminars will also take place in the participating countries. See here for the dates.

An internship position is open at ASADIP-HCCH (ROLAC)

The American Association of Private International Law (ASADIP) and the Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ROLAC) of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) are seeking an intern to assist them in the academic work of the region’s network and to conduct legal research. An important focus of the internship will be the Hague Service and Evidence Conventions. Further information is available here (in Spanish only).

The candidate must either be an advanced student (having already taken Private International Law credits) or have graduated from a Bacherlor of Laws in a University of Latin American or the Caribbean region. For graduated candidates to be able to apply, no more than 3 years should have elapsed from their graduation.

Very good written and communications skills in both Spanish and English are required. This is a non-remunerated internship. The selected candidate is expected to work part-time (3 or 4 hours per day) from a distance. However, it is possible to do the internship at the ROLAC office in Buenos Aires, Argentina, or combine the internship with the possibility to work at a distance and on-site.

The duration of the internship is 4 months to a year.

The deadline for applications is 20 August 2019.
