Membership
"Being a member of BIICL is an essential requirement for any forward-thinking lawyer and for those with an interest in international affairs." Robert McCorquodale, BIICL Director
Membership of BIICL is open to all and enables you to become part of a diverse community of practitioners, scholars and many others with an interest in international and comparative law, and the rule of law. Members are kept informed on BIICL's latest research and developments, with many opportunities to engage in debate and discussion through our programme of topical events, seminars and conferences.
Our membership includes judges, lawyers and barristers, government officials, international civil servants, academics and students, including non-lawyers.
