ILSA Chapter Happenings
on “The Alibaba IPO: Leveraging Opportunity and Law in a Global Market.” The panel will be com- prised of Professor John A Burgess (Executive Director of the Fletcher LLM Program) and Dr. Bhaskar Chakravorti (Senior Associate Dean for International Business and Finance at Fletcher), and will be moderated by Fletcher alumnus Ravi Chaturvedi, Research Scholar at the IBGC and co-author of the recently published Mastercard- Fletcher Digital Evolution Index.
For the Spring 2015 semester, we of the Fletcher ILS hope to continue to leverage the expertise of Fletcher faculty. In particular, we are fortunate to be hosting leading scholars on post-conflict rec- onciliation and justice, Professors Cecile Aptel and Kimberly Theidon. The ILS also aims to or- ganize, potentially as ILSA grant events, panels at the upcoming Tufts Energy Conference and/or the Fletcher Africana Conference. Our objective will remain, in keeping with the tradition of legal education at The Fletcher School, to explore the areas of interface between law, policy, politics, governance, business and security, as embodied in the evolving challenges faced across nations and sectors in the 21st century.

The ILSA Chapter at Interamerican University School of Law was established on October 20th, and has now entered in an exciting stage of development. We have kept busy! We at- tended International Law Weekend, “Law in a Time of Chaos”, which has enriched our aware- ness of International and Comparative Law. The Chapter ILSA-INTER had a successful campaign, as we have now more than 50 members who
have joined. During that time, ILSA-INTER has increased the awareness and knowledge of inter- national law among students. For the first time during the fall of 2015, our school is offering a J.D. program in English, which is a unique program geared toward enhancing inclusion and diversity in legal education and within the legal profession (to learn more please visit our webpage (http://
www.derecho.inter.edu/).
The future goals of ILSA-INTER are to carry out several activities such as academic conferences on international law, international community ser- vice, fraternizing with international leaders and ambassadors, and providing publications related to international law. Also, in the near future we will be competing in the Philip C. Jessup Inter- national Law Moot Court Competition, the Inter- national Sustainable Development and World Hu- man Rights Moot Court.
On November 17th ILSA-INTER held its official inauguration ceremony. The Inaugural acts of the organization are presided over by our President Ismael A. Vélez De La Rosa, C.P.A., our mentor and distinguished professor Dr. Esther Vicente, the Dean Julio Fontanet Maldonado, Dean of Stu- dents Iris Camacho Meléndez, Ph.D., and many more. We had the honor of having Dr. Efrén Ri- vera Ramos as our special guest and speaker. He addressed our members and visitors on the duties we must take on to educate others about the awareness of Humans Rights internationally by way of seminars, conferences, activities and much more. He emphasized the importance of making it our mission to educate the students on international law and its outcome in Puerto Rico, promote the study of international law, and pro- vide opportunities for research and interpersonal relations in the field of international law.
In Puerto Rico, we must develop relations be- tween the association and the community. Amongst our colleagues we must promote the benefits of being involved in research and in solv- ing international legal problems. We must expose
