In Memoriam – Bill Wedderburn (1927-2012)
On Friday, 9 March, 2012, one of the Titans of comparative labour law left our midst. Professor Lord Wedderburn of Charlton – "Bill" Wedderburn to his friends, and the enigmatic "KWW" of numerous notes and comments during a long and illustrious writing career – died in London at the age of 84, after a long illness.

About the Association
The International Association of Labour Law Journals was established for the following purposes:
- Advancing research and scholarship in the fields of labour and employment law;
- Encouraging the exchange of information regarding all aspects of the publishing process;
- Promoting closer relations among editors of national and international labour and employment law journals.
The late renowned Professor Marco Biagi of the University of Modena, Italy was the first President, and was instrumental in establishing the Association as a Club of Labour Law Journals. During the tenure (2004-2007) of his successor, Jeffrey Sack, Q.C., the Club was reconstituted as an Association, and its membership expanded from 12 to 21 Journals. At the same time, the website for the Association was established.
The Association meets annually in different countries, at a meeting hosted by the journal for that country. Recent meetings have been held in Modena, Italy (2000); Brussels, Belgium (2001); Philadelphia, USA (2002); Madrid, Spain (2003), and again in Modena, Italy (2004). The 2005 meeting was held in Toronto, Canada; 2006 in Paris, France; 2007 in Bologna, Italy; 2008 in Warwick, UK; 2009 in Sydney, Australia; 2010 in Herstmonceux, England; and 2011 in Seville, Spain. The 2012 meeting will be held from July 2-5 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
