ILSA Chapter Happenings
takes care of administrative issues concerning ILSA Chapter Olomouc and managed to set up the Chapter’s website (
ilsa.upol.cz).
Moreover, I would also like to express my grati- tude to the Dean of Law Faculty, Palacký Uni- versity Olomouc, Prof. Milana Hrusakova, who graciously offered perennial support for the Chapter’s activities.
To conclude, even the fact of being a newly start- ed Chapter did not create an obstacle for the ILSA Chapter Olomouc members. Due to their initiative and the earnest endeavor, the Chapter was able to commence miscellaneous activities in order to generate interest in the area interna- tional law not only for the present but also for the future.
98 RUTGERS-NEWARK ILS
Rutgers School of Law - Newark Newark, New Jersey USA Rutgers-Newark ILS E-Board
The current E-Board has been blazing trails ever since its members began taking the group to a higher level last year as first-year students (1Ls). Like a phoenix from the ashes, our members brought the group back from the brink of stagna- tion and met the challenge head-on, with stellar results. Now, Rutgers-Newark ILS can proudly say it has been responsible for some of the most dynamic, engaging, and well-attended events on campus. This spring, we will continue to increase student awareness of and involvement in inter- national legal issues through thought-provoking and stimulating events.
Last spring, Rutgers ILS held one of the best events of the year: a panel discussion on the
Role of U.S. & International Intervention in Libya. The then-1L class of ILS members (almost all of whom are now on the board) organized the en- tire event, bringing together esteemed bipartisan panelists from all over the spectrum. Among the panelists were a young Libyan-American woman who provided a personal and cultural account of the fear of living under Gaddafi; James Carafano, Director of the Heritage Foundation’s Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Stud- ies; Karima Bennoune, Professor of Law at Rut- gers Law School and Arthur L. Dickson Scholar, member of the Council of the Network of Wom- en Living Under Muslim Laws and 2011 recipient of Chancellor’s Distinguished Research Award at Rutgers University–Newark; and Jared Genser, Lecturer in Law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and President of Freedom Now, a non-profit organization that works to free prison- ers of conscience worldwide. Despite the con- siderable size of the room, there was standing room only.
We continued to explore the implications of the Arab Spring, and as such we held a small panel this Fall on humanitarian intervention in Syria. The panel included Danya Shocair Reda, Assis- tant Professor, Fulbright Fellow, and Islamic Law Scholar at NYU; Mohamed A. Alsiadi, Program Leader for the U.S.-Mideast Program for the Center for the Study of Genocide, Conflict Reso- lution, and Human Rights at Rutgers; and Sarah Al-Jijaki, founding member of the NY Chapter of the Network of Arab-American Professionals and active member of the National Alliance for Syria. The panel served as a prelude to our Spring Sym- posium on the Arab Spring to be held this com- ing semester.
This fall, we were honored to host internation- al criminal attorney Andrew Cayley, who has worked with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, International Crimi- nal Court, Special Court of Sierra Leone and is currently the International Co-Prosecutor at the
