Development Committee acts as a link between law schools, professional development professionals, practising lawyers and the IBA.</p> <p> Our mission is to contribute to the following objectives:</p> <ul class="include-chevron"> <li> improving the quality of lawyers around the world;</li> <li> making the practice of law fit for the modern world; and</li> <li> making the legal profession an attractive one for the world's most talented students.</li> </ul> <p> Our members speak regularly at law schools, both to academics and students, with a particular emphasis on the preparation of students for international legal practice. We also support IBA programmes to develop local Bars around the world.</p> <p> At the IBA annual conferences, we bring together academics, professional development experts and practising lawyers from across the IBA community and more widely to address issues affecting the education and training of lawyers in both legal and business skills. We are also involved in original research into related topics.</p> <p> The committee publishes a regular newsletter to members and posts articles and information on its website.</p><div class="yCmsComponent col-12"> </div><div class="publications_holder"> <div class="yCmsComponent"> <div> <div class="cardWrrper news_block"> <div> <div class="row m-0 mb-4 p-0 no-gutters myAccontOption myAccountArticles"> <div class="card col-sm-12 myAccountOptionContent"> <div class="card-header"> <h2 class="d-inline"> Publications<div class="all_links mt-sm-0 mt-0"> <a class="btn-link" href="/articles/3125">All articles<i class="fas fa-arrow-right"></i></a> </div> </h2> </div> <div class="card-body publications pl-0 pr-0" > <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12">  <div class="articles-section news-articles list-view">  <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="section-details pb-2 ml-2"> <h2 class="card-title card__name"> <a href="/2023-an-intelligent-learning-odyssey">2023: an intelligent learning odyssey </a> </h2> <p class="card-text mb-2 articleDescription ellipsis_small_screen"> This article explores the potential implications of AI tools on education and on the legal profession, including the various approaches that educators and legal institutions can take to optimise a responsible use of AI technology while minimising its limitations. </p> <p> <strong>Released on</strong> <span class="releasedDate"> Nov 20, 2023</span> </p> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="section-details pb-2 ml-2"> <h2 class="card-title card__name"> <a href="/legal-jabuticaba-brazil-legal-system">The legal jabuticaba </a> </h2> <p class="card-text mb-2 articleDescription ellipsis_small_screen"> The Brazilian legal system possesses unique features, one notable characteristic being the practice of attorney's fees being payable by the losing party to the prevailing party's lawyers (honor谩rios de sucumb锚ncia) in litigation and, sometimes, in arbitration.

The avoidance of double recovery is, however, one of the considerations upon which the rule is based in the Netherlands.
