ILSA Chapter Happenings
of the role of the Public Defender’s Office in our society.
Further, Ms. Warren touched on the need for Pub- lic Defenders who are versed in international law because, as she pointed out, American citizens are not the only people affected by the criminal justice system.

Additionally, Trinity ILS, along with the ILSA Chap- ter Grant Program, sponsored “Immigration and Nationality Law - The Challenges Encountered” with guest speakers Monica Lukoschek and Lisa Ramirez, Partners in the U.S. Immigration Law Group, LLP. The presentation provided insight into the practice of Immigration Law as well as how to obtain internships in this field. With the assistance of ILSA and the ILSA Chapter Grant Program, the event proved to be a success for the Trinity ILS Chapter because we were able to use billboard marketing and flyers to encourage students to attend the session, as well as provide a wonderful turkey dinner from Mimi’s Café.
For the 2014 spring semester, Trinity Law School ILS is in the planning stage to host our Second Annual International Law Panel event to increase the awareness of practice in international law. The event will have diverse speakers who represent global recruiters and attorneys with international practice. Our first panel event was held in the spring of 2013 and it was a wonderful success.
Additionally, Trinity ILS plans to host an Interna- tional Career fair, which is presented by the State Bar of California International Law Section. Our goal is to assist students in achieving their goal to become international attorneys by helping them improve their career marketing skills via resume building courses, interviewing, coaching and more. The Career Fair will include panelists from: international businesses, law firms focusing on international law, i.e. human rights, immigration, import/export, etc. We are extending an invitation to other ILSA Chapters who are interested in as- sisting us with holding this event. If anyone is in-
terested in being a part of the Trinity Law School ILS Career Fair, please contact us at our direct email address:

Matthew Mason, Fundraising Chair
As the fall semester quickly comes to an end, the International Law Society of the John Mar- shall Law School thanks its members in support- ing and promoting our activities and looks to the future to continue providing advanced practical programs and activities in global legal studies. During this semester, among many other events, we organized a discussion panel on international human rights law, and a donation drive to help Syrian refugees living through difficult times. The Society also held an information session on various opportunities that ILSA offers to its mem- bers, including writing competitions and guides on international legal education.
Recently, our leadership committee met and dis- cussed our agenda for spring 2014. We empha- sized on more collaborations with ILSA chapters around the globe. Also, we are in process of in- viting international legal scholars or practitioners to discuss recent developments in public and pri- vate international law.
The Society’s Social Chair, Portia McKenzie, will be initiating a fundraising event next semester. As part of our agenda, we also intend to initiate a writing competition on international law.
Our spring career programs will include sponsor- ship with the Career Services Office of the John Marshall Law School. We seek to offer tips on building highly qualified international resume, pro- fessional networking, and educational resources.
