ILSA Chapter Happenings
Law School has actively engaged in the interac- tions with the global academic and practical com- munications, such as the Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition Chinese National Round. CQU Law School has participated in the competi- tion since 2008. This competition exposes the Law School students to internationalized and realistic aspects of theoretical legal issues, policy making process, and legal professions in international law. The experience in this competition has driven more students to their world of international law research and practice.
With the effort of Xi Wang and other pioneering CQU team members enthusiastic in Jessup com- petition, the Law School debate association was founded in 2009. This association has contributed to the development of International law in CQU Law School in the pre-Chapter periods. As part of its functions, the debate association hosted interna- tional law seminars on issues of “Death penalty in China” and “The human rights dimension and sov- ereignty”, and sponsored students studying in Xia- men Academy of International Law and Internation- al Law Advanced Courses in ECUPL Law School. It is the podium for prospective students interested in international law issues, and prepares more stu- dents with profound “Jessup abilities” in the future study and practice.
The recent development in international law in CQU Law School has been achieved by diverse and multilayered academic communications. In De- cember 2011, Professor de Guttrey of Scuola Su- periore Sant’ Anna in Italy visited CQU Law School and presented a speech on “International Human Rights Law: key principles and elements”, in which he compared the international human rights instru- ments of different hierarchy and the membership conditions of China and Italy.
In October 2011, Dr. Yali Rong, who is an experi- enced lawyer in taxation, was invited to a lecture on international taxation law. In April 2011, Professor Ming Li from Peking University presented a lecture
on “The human rights dimension versus sovereign dimension in international law”. Series of lectures on international law has been held by the International Law Research Center to share the international law knowledge and practice in September and October 2011.
The development goals in the spring semester will focus on deepening the interrelations with ILSA and other ILSA Chapters. More international level collo- quy and seminars are expected to be held by CQU Law School. Additionally, an international law journal of CQU Law School is also under development.
CQU Law School has realized that it is a great honor to be a chapter of ILSA and to be a member of the community of international law students. The past has prepared a prospective future in international law of CQU Law School. For a young but promis- ing law school like CQU Law School, ILSA affords effective and efficient access to the academic and organizational resources to help achieve CQU’s goal in developing international law.
