U.S. Department of State Advisory Committee on Private 
International Law (ACPIL): Public Meeting on the Judgments Project

    The Office of the Assistant Legal Adviser for Private International 
Law, Department of State, gives notice of a public meeting to discuss 
the judgments project. The public meeting will take place on Tuesday, 
November 15, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. EST. This is not a 
meeting of the full Advisory Committee.
    A Special Commission of the Hague Conference met in June 2016 to 
discuss the structure and the provisions of a draft convention on the 
recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and 
commercial matters. Another Special Commission of the Hague Conference 
is scheduled to meet in February 2017 to continue the drafting process.
    The purpose of the public meeting is to obtain the views of 
interested stakeholders on the current draft provisions of the 
convention, located at https://assets.hcch.net/docs/ to discuss certain 
matters such as scope, possible declarations to the convention, and 
general and final clauses.
    Time and Place: The meeting will take place from 10:00 a.m. until 
12:30 p.m. EST on November 15, 2016, in Room 240, South Building, State
