TEMPLE ILSA CHAPTER

The ILSA Chapter of Temple University Beasley School of Law is continuing its fast-paced expan- sion into the new year. ILS continues to reach out to its growing membership by exploring new ways of staying connected with our members and follow- ers via different forms of social media. In addition to our Facebook page—which keeps members, alumni and students informed about the latest ILS news—we recently launched the official Temple ILS blog and created a Twitter feed. By posting pictures, updates, and current events news online, our blog and Twitter feed supplement the information pro- vided to students, plus document past events and help generate support for ILS activities on campus.
Last October, Temple Law students gathered to watch ILS’s presentation of “Not My Life”, a docu- mentary about the unspeakable crime of human trafficking in the modern world. The film highlights the fact that trafficking and slavery are universal crimes affecting millions of people worldwide, particularly children. Several Temple Law students have been given the opportunity to work with the United Nations Association of Greater Philadelphia toward promoting legislation that will combat this problem. Students who attended the screening had the opportunity to sign a petition to pass the Na- tional Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline
Act into law (the Resource Center is run by the Po- laris Project, a non-profit NGO working exclusively on human trafficking).
Also in in October, Temple Law and Temple Univer- sity hosted the first-ever United Nations panel and information session on campus. Two UN represen- tatives spoke about internships and job opportuni- ties within the organization and discussed ways in which students can begin to prepare for careers in diplomacy, international development, international law, and other areas.
The spring semester will certainly be busy for Tem- ple’s International Law Society chapter. We have numerous events planned, including a continuation of our successful “Worldview Wednesday” pro- gramming, in which international LL.M. students from Temple give presentations about how the le- gal systems operate in their home countries. ILS will also host a Study Abroad panel, which will give 1Ls and 2Ls a chance to hear practical advice from students who have participated in foreign exchange programs during law school. Finally, Temple ILS will hold its second annual Jus Gentium International Law Symposium—ILS’s signature event featuring published members of the Temple International & Comparative Law Journal and distinguished faculty scholars speaking about their most current research.
