ILSA Chapter Happenings
reasons for our dedicated group of members. Our first student panel - the Summer Experience Ca- reer Panel - was an opportunity for our members to highlight their incredible summer internship experiences and provide guidance to upcoming students. The panel included interns for various international entities in China, Nigeria, Uganda, the Netherlands, Thailand, and the United States. We also presented a panel featuring some of our LL.M. students to speak on legal education and opportunities in their respective countries. Our final student panel provided information on the Vanderbilt-in-Venice Program, which provides stu- dents an opportunity to study international law with renowned professors both from Vanderbilt Law School and the broader international commu- nity.

While ILS is dedicated to continuing to provide phenomenal opportunities for our members to discover and discuss important legal issues in in- ternational law, we also like to have fun! We had a successful event last fall, co-sponsored with the Middle Eastern Law Society, which featured Middle Eastern food and entertainment for the en- tire school. We are looking forward to closing out the spring semester with a social dinner for our members!
FLETCHER ILSA
Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy Medford, Massachusetts USA
Angeles Estrada, President & Ameya Naik, Social Media Director
The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy revived its ILSA chapter! At the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, given its specific academic and profes- sional interests, questions of international law enjoy particular primacy. Fletcher’s commitment to diversity, interdisciplinary studies and service aligns exceptionally well with ILSA’s goal of nur- turing internationally-minded, culturally aware and socially responsible young lawyers.
Our main objective is to promote study of the prac- tical implications of international rules, principles and institutions, and the interrelationship between international law and other disciplines.
In these regards, ILSA @Fletcher will contribute to the Fletcher community by serving as a focal point facilitating the study and appreciation of the rami- fications of various aspects of international law on current affairs, and in particular the implications of international law on international relations and in- ternational business; by promoting awareness of current issues in human rights, as understood in the context of relevant provisions of international law; by organizing suitable events, both within the school and in association with other Chapters of ILSA, to explore the practical applications of inter- national law - including (but not limited to) guest lectures, workshops, film screenings, book read- ings, panel discussions, conferences, moot courts and other simulations; by coordinating with other Chapters of ILSA, and the ILSA executive, to en- sure students can capitalize on the range of op- portunities to learn about international law offered through membership of ILSA; and by increasing interaction with other law programs from around the world, and assisting students in finding suit- able opportunities to explore other cultures and systems of law.
ILSA @Fletcher would also inherit the long his- tory of cooperation between the school and ILSA, which dates back to the creation of the association itself. The Fletcher School has been active in ILSA’s “Friends of Jessup” network, co-hosting the an- nual luncheon discussion with the drafters of the Compromis taking place at the Jessup Moot Court World Rounds, and contributing to annual confer- ences and “International Law Weekends”. ILSA @ Fletcher would endeavor to continue to nurture this valuable relationship, and indeed to further strengthen and expand it wherever possible.
For the 2014’s Spring term, the ILSA @Fletcher will have various activities related with different Private
