Latin
American Council of International and Comparative Law (COLADIC)
The
Latin American Council of International and Comparative Law (COLADIC in
its acronym in Spanish), is an academic association devoted to stimulating
research and networking of students and young professionals through academic
activities.
COALDIC was created in 1994 and has come to play an important role in Latin American student affairs. The association has attained a prominent international recognition which has enabled it to establish co-operative links with several institutions, a list of which may be found on its website.
COLADIC’s activities include hosting an annual seminar and virtual discussion groups, administering and participating in seven international moot courts, and publishing an international annual journal and a number of bulletins. All these have provided a wide range of academic opportunities for COLADIC to expand its benefits to a growing number of beneficiaries.
Students, academics and professionals are welcome to join the association or participate in COLADIC’s scholarly arena. For more information about the history, activities, and accomplishments of the association and its supporters see its website: www.coladic.org or e-mail: fargueta@gmail.com.
