The association Annual Meeting is being held for the first time in Malaysia.  Malaysia is a multi-racial and multi-cultural melting pot with a cosmopolitan population made up of Malays, Chinese, Indians and numerous ethnic groups. Here, one can experience a wealth of cultural and racial diversity that is both colorful and unique and the legal system reflects that diversity. The conference will be held in the vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur.
