FTLA Cross Border Practice Review, Volume I, Number One (Inaugural Issue)

The Foreign Trained Lawyers Association (FTLA), an independent professional organization established in

November 2025 and dedicated to the integration, professional development, and effectiveness of foreign trained

counsel in United States legal practice, is pleased to announce that submissions are now open for the inaugural

volume of the FTLA Cross Border Practice Review.

The Cross Border Practice Review is a scholarly publication providing a sustained forum for the examination of

the doctrinal, regulatory, and institutional questions that arise at the intersection of United States federal cross

border regulation and the legal traditions, training, and practice experience that foreign trained counsel bring to

American legal practice. The Review addresses the foreign private issuer framework under the federal securities

laws, the national security review of foreign investment conducted by the Committee on Foreign Investment in

the United States, the supply chain integrity regime established under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act,

the sanctions enforcement architecture administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the immigration

and licensing pathways through which foreign trained counsel are integrated into the United States legal

profession.
