ILSA Chapter Happenings
to ignite interest in mooting among the members. Last but not least, we plan to bring our members for a field trip to the United Nation (UN) Thailand and to the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Department, the Ministry of Foreign Af- fairs of Thailand, in order to raise awareness of in- ternational law among our members, as well as to get ready for ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which is going to be formed in 2015.
In summary, it could be said that despite its new appearance, the Thammasat ILSA chapter has made the best effort to contribute to the devel- opment of law students of new generations. We committed to give opportunities to every law stu- dent to discover and bring out his/her potentials according to his/her field of interest and together, we will be a good influence to people around us and the community we live in. Finally, we, on be- half of the Thammasat ILSA Chapter, would like to express our deepest appreciation to ILSA for giv- ing us the opportunity to do so!

The International Law Society of Wayne State University Law School has had an exciting school year thus far and has a lot to look forward to in the upcoming months. We started the fall semester with an enthusing panel discussion, “The Future of the Reform Movement in the Arab World.” The speakers for this event were nationally known experts on law and political change in the Arab World: Tarek Masoud of the Kennedy School at Harvard, Haider Hamoudi of the University of Pitts- burgh Law School and Mark Tessler of the Univer- sity of Michigan Department of Political Science. This was a very successful event and drew a broad range of students from across the university due to heightened interest in the Arab Word’s current
state of affairs. In order to continue a meaningful discussion on the Middle East through a legal con- text, Wayne Law’s Program for International Legal Studies hosted a discussion on the Syrian crisis in November. The participating panel members included Frederic Pearson, Director at the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies; Nadejda Marinova, Assistant Professor of Political Science; Gregory Fox, Professor of Law; and Brad Roth, Professor of Political Science and Law. This discussion includ- ed topics such as the civil war in Syria, U.S. and international efforts to address the problem with chemical weapons, and the question of armed hu- manitarian intervention.
Wayne State Law’s events regarding the Middle East will continue this semester when Professor Booth-Walling, from Albion College, joins us next month to discuss her new book, “All Necessary Measures: The United Nations and Humanitar- ian Intervention” as it relates to the conditions in Syria. We are very excited to continue our focus on Syria and the legal consequences regarding its ongoing humanitarian crisis.
On another note, Wayne Law ILS has reached out to the State Bar of Michigan’s International Section in order to establish a mentorship program. This program allows us as students to create meaning- ful relationships with practicing attorneys in order to learn how to join the Michigan International Lawyer community. We also have three students that act as a student board of editors for the Michi- gan International Lawyer’s seasonal journal publi- cation. The current issue will include submissions from law students throughout the state who have recently interned/studied abroad. Wayne Law ILS students have had some incredible opportunities throughout the last year and we are excited for those experiences to be highlighted in the Michi- gan International Lawyer’s winter edition.
Finally, Wayne Law’s Jessup Moot Court team has been gearing up for our Midwest Regional Com- petition, which will be held in Chicago next month.
