NEW REALITIES, NEW CHALLENGES

and International Programs

WELCOMEFrom all of us at USMBA, get ready to be bombed with information set to excite and inspire!

Times are changing quickly. After the en-try into power of the Trump and AMLO administrations the legal world is facing an entirely new reality, a new view with a unique set of legal challenges. The once obvious mutual goals between our na-tions of free trade and open borders is now being tested. Is it a turn in the right direction? We don’t know, but what is certain is that it is up to us, the legal com-munity, be it in our role as students, ac-ademics or professionals, to make sure that our new direction meets our social and business communities’ needs for fairness, opportunity and firm respect of the rule of law.

We have built this event together with Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law, a top educational institu-tion, to shed light and open discussion on those legal areas that matter to our nations, so we are able to resolve these new challenges and move forward in this new reality. We are sure you will find the con tent and networking productive sur-rounded by this fantastic law school and campus that is SMU.

NETWORKINGTABLES4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

HISTORY PURPOSEIn February 1994, representatives of the legal profession from throughout the State of Texas and the Mexican States of Chihuahua, Tamauli-pas, Nuevo León and Coahuila, met in San Antonio and established the Texas-México Bar Association (to be known in México as the Barra de Aboga-dos de México y Texas). Initially, membership was limited to attorneys and law students from the State of Texas and the four Mexican States that border Texas, but interest in the Association quick-ly spread beyond the Texas-México border area.

Since 1996, membership in the Association has been open to attorneys and law students from throughout México and the United States. On 30 September 2005 the name of the association was changed to the U.S.-Mexico Bar Association (to be known in México as the Barra de Abogados Méxi-co-Estados Unidos). The Association, which has its permanent office in Austin, Texas, is led by a bi-national board of directors, consisting of nine offi-cers and directors from the U.S. and nine officers and directors from Mexico, including two Chairs from the U.S. and Mexico, two Vice-Chairs from the U.S. and Mexico, a Treasurer, and a Secretary.

The USMBA’s goals are as follows:

The purpose of the Association is to develop and promote understanding of the legal systems and practices and cultural differences of the two na-tions; to exchange professional information among its members, concerning issues of law that affect common interest, such as commerce, investment, and immigration, among others, to enable lawyers in the two countries, those in private practice as well as those serving in the judicial system, to bet-ter serve their communities and clients; to promote development of infrastructure for the provision of legal services and the solution of controversies; to share experiences in dealing with matters of common interest, and avoid unnecessary conflicts, without adopting or favoring any particular political standing.
