Non-Political and Non-Discriminatory<\/strong><\/p>\n

One cardinal principle of the Academy is that it shall not be political or discriminatory in its activities or membership. One must constantly bear in mind that the Academy of Commercial and Consumer Law is not an organization of nations, but rather of scholars bonded together with common issues and common intensity of scholarship.\u00a0Just as the Olympics for many years took athletes in the world competition regardless of the nature of their government or its actions, the same should hold true in the world of scholarship and the Academy.\u00a0In addition, there must be no discrimination against any possible members on the basis of religion, race, nationality, gender, age or any other invidious basis.\u00a0In regard to age, some of the members are emeritus status at their universities.<\/p>\n

Worldwide Representation<\/strong><\/p>\n

The principle of worldwide representation is a key one for the Academy.\u00a0One benefit of the Academy is that in its own small way the Academy may contribute to better international understanding and goodwill.\u00a0It is recognized by the Academy that many problems of Commercial and Consumer Law are faced throughout the world and are not isolated topics found only in a single country.\u00a0In this regard, membership has been extended to experts in various countries throughout the world.\u00a0Most major commercial countries are represented in the Academy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
