NYU’s Center for Transnational Litigation, Arbitration, and Commercial Law is hosting a conference in honor of Professor Linda Silberman. The first woman law professor to receive tenure at NYU, Linda retired from NYU School of Law last year after contributing for more than 50 years through her research, her teaching, and her charisma to shaping NYU School of Law into what it is today.
The conference will take place in person on April 20 & 21, 2023 at NYU. The conference is divided into seven parts, dedicated specifically to Jurisdiction, Choice of Law, Recognition & Enforcement of Judgments, Comparative Law, Transnational Civil Litigation, International Arbitration, and Personal Reflections (reserved for personal remarks by friends and colleagues of Linda Silberman).
