[Public Notice: 7403]
U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private
International Law (ACPIL); Notice of Public Meeting of Its Study Group
on the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements
The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International
Law, Department of State, hereby gives notice of a public meeting of
the ACPIL Study Group on the Hague Convention on Choice of Court
Agreements. The meeting will take place on June 15, 2011 from 9 a.m. to
2 p.m. EDT at the Department of State, Washington, DC. This is not a
meeting of the full Advisory Committee. The Study Group will meet to
discuss the draft Federal legislation that has been developed to
implement the Convention. It is proposed that the Federal legislation
would work in tandem with uniform State law, developed by the Uniform
Law Commission, as may be enacted by individual States. Where a State
did not enact the uniform State law, or in the event of any
inconsistency between the Federal law and the uniform State law as
enacted, the Federal law would apply. Prior to the Study Group meeting,
we will send out the latest Federal and State drafts to all those who
indicate that they intend to attend the meeting or participate by
telephone or who otherwise express an interest in commenting on the
draft Federal text.
Time and Place: The meeting will take place on June 15th from 9
a.m. to 2 p.m. EDT at the Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for
Private International Law, Department of State, Washington, DC.
Participants should appear by 8:45 a.m. at the C Street gate to Navy
Hill, corner of C Street, NW., and 23rd Street, NW.

public, subject to the capacity of the meeting room. Access to the
meeting building is controlled; persons wishing to attend should
contact Tricia Smeltzer or Niesha Toms of the Department of State Legal
Adviser's Office at [email protected] or [email protected] and

(Omnibus Act of 1986) as amended; Public Law 107-56 (USA PATRIOT ACT):
