ILSA Chapter Happenings
perhaps living abroad, Mr. Lestyk indicated that those interested should be aware and consider- ate it when making a decision.
Karine Faure Wenger, who serves as corporate immigration counsel to a wide range of clients, arrived from France to attend law school in the United States. Mrs. Wenger provided great ad- vice to law students seeking to immerse them- selves in international law. A member of the Jes- sup Moot Court team during law school, Mrs. Wenger recommended getting involved in any- thing and everything related to international law which includes studying abroad, taking courses in international law, and immersing yourself in a field of interest.

The panel was a huge success and provided law students and practitioners with an interest in in- ternational law the opportunity to hear first-hand from those who have found success practicing internationally. The Thomas Jefferson School of Law community is grateful to the State Bar of California International Law Section for hosting the event at Thomas Jefferson and thanks Career Services and the International Law Society for co-sponsoring such an informative panel of attor- neys.
The Colloquium was a great success, with over 170 local attorneys and students in attendance. The Sturm College of Law was also honored to have Peter Weis, Esquire of the Center for Consti- tutional Rights as the Ved Nanda Center’s Annual Cox Price Human Rights Award lecturer.

The DU Chapter has also welcomed Stephanie Farrior, a Professor of Law and Director of Inter- national and Comparative Law Programs at Ver- mont Law School. Professor Farrior led a lunch- time lecture on Human Rights Advocacy, which highlighted her research on discrimination, state responsibility for human rights abuses by non- state actors, and the work of international human rights monitoring bodies. The DU Chapter hopes to bring in more great speakers from across the country for more lunchtimes lectures next se- mester.

The University of Denver (DU) ILSA Chapter has had a great event-filled semester. On November 9, the Sturm College of Law hosted the 46th Annual Leonard v.B. Sutton Colloquium on In- ternational Legal Perspectives on the Future of Development. The DU Chapter has been very in- volved in the planning of this event and was very excited to see all that planning come to fruition.
In October, the first event in the series Rwanda Twenty Years Ago Today was held, which brought in a panel of Rwandans from the local commu- nity and abroad to comment on the events as they knew them leading up to the genocide. The panel was very successful in garnering commu- nity interest, with every seat in the lecture hall filled. There was very positive feedback from the attendees, with many of them looking forward to attending future events in the series.
Over the next few months, United Nations resolu- tions, propaganda, and media coverage of events on the ground 20 years ago to the day will be posted on the Rwanda blog and other social me- dia platforms. The public is encouraged to leave comments and post on the blog any events or stories they have to contribute. The blog can be found at

Rwanda Twenty Years Ago Today events will be advertised university- and community-wide. Par- ticipation in this project comes from the Univer- sity of Denver’s Sturm College of Law, the Korbel
