Argentine Delegation Visits Sept. 26-Oct. 4
Article Date: Friday, September 25, 2009
Attorneys from Argentina will visit North Carolina Sept. 26 through Oct. 4 in conjunction with the North Carolina Bar Association’s Attorney Exchange Program. Their visit marks the culmination of a two-way exchange through which attorneys from the NCBA visited Argentina last year.
Organized through the NCBA’s International Law and Practice Section, the exchange program is designed to foster professional understanding through the exchange of ideas, information and experiences on the practice of law in each legal system.
The program was launched in 2006 when an NCBA delegation visited Taiwan.
A hectic itinerary awaits the delegation of Ana María Bargiela, Esteban Carcavallo, Rafael Dillon, María Cristina Etala, Miguel Jorge Haslop, Alejandra Knudsen, Fernando Noetinger and Carlos Renis.
Beginning with weekend activities in Durham which includes attending the Duke-NCCU football game, the Argentine delegation will make stops in Raleigh, Greensboro, Charlotte, Winston-Salem and the N.C. Bar Center in Cary.
The visit and weeklong excursion across North Carolina is made possible through the generosity of the following sponsors: Williams Mullen, Manning Fulton and Skinner, P.A., Vandeventer Black LLP, Duke University School of Law, Cato Research Ltd./Cato BioVentures, Gabriel Berry & Weston LLP, Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, K& L Gates and the NCBA.
Event hosts are Enrique Miguel Loncán, Velasquez & Associates, Daniels & Daniels, P.A., McGuireWoods LLP, North Carolina Biotech Center, North Carolina Secretary of State, Durham County Superior Court, Durham County Registrar of Deeds, Durham County Clerk of Courts, North Carolina Supreme Court, Chief Justice's Commission on Professionalism, North Carolina Business Court, and U.S. Federal Court in Charlotte.
Itinerary highlights include:
Saturday, Sept. 26: Duke University-North Carolina Central University football game and related activities.
