According to Mr. Duffy, "The Section is an outstanding group of lawyers who specialize in the international practice of the law. It has Chapters in more than 40 major cities around the world. The Section is recognized as a leading body of legal thought on topics of importance to not only the international legal community but also the international business community. Thus, I feel very privileged and honored to be able to serve as its Chair."
