“Excellent organisation, contents, panels! As a first timer I was very pleased to be able to participate in the Congress.” – Joana Whyte, Lisbon, Portugal

“At UIA seminars, it is common at the end for all the participants to pose for a photograph. When I look at my UIA photographs, I remember how much I learned, and how much I loved interacting with fabulous lawyers in interesting places.”
