As part of its centennial celebration, the American Society of International Law reached out to international law societies to continue the process of learning how non-U.S. lawyers address international law, and to understand better the application of international law beyond the United States. In this context ASIL President James Carter and ASIL members attended, in November2004, the Second International Law Conference of the Indian Society of International Law (ISIL)in New Delhi, India—the capital of the world's most populous democracy. The conference attracted legal scholars, lawyers, and government officials from around the world. Carter and others from the ASIL were able to meet with, and learn from, Indians who have studied and worked in international law.
