ILSA Chapter Happenings
government officials and is currently a visiting scholar at the University of Colorado Law School. He presented on the extensive history of water management in Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin and the recent legal reforms. Dr. McLeod pre- sented on the challenges that both the Western United States and Australia have faced in terms of water management issues concerning gover- nance, climate change, and indigenous people’s involvement in water management.
The Wyoming Society for International Law is looking forward to upcoming events in the Spring semester as well. We are hopefully bringing two barristers from England to the University of Wyo- ming next semester to speak about their work with the International Criminal Court. We are very excited about what our chapter of ILSA will do in the future, and we are very excited to be getting involved in the international community.
UNIBE
Univ. Iberoamericana School of Law Santo Domingo, DOMINCAN REP.
Arlette Danielle Román Almánzar, President
The ILSA Chapter at Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE) School of Law, located in the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic, was recently established in early November. ILSA-UNIBE is the first ILSA Chapter member in our country, and as founders, we feel the need to promote and amplify ILSA´s outreach to other Law Schools by breaking the language barrier through serving as translators and carriers of its mission in our native language. To this end, we created an “as- sociate membership” for students who do not belong to our university but wish to collaborate with ILSA-UNIBE. The inauguration ceremony is planned to be celebrated in December with the attendance of prominent law firms, government entities, figures of the judicial branch, students association from other universities, and non-gov-
ernmental institutions that we plan to associate with strategically in the future.
UNIBE is proud to announce that after four con- secutive years participating in the Phillip C. Jes- sup International Competition, we are invictus in the national rounds. One of ILSA-UNIBE´s main interests resides in preparing students for the glo- balized world and international law competitions. Instead, students will have access to a plethora of information through panels and forums, in or- der to build, progressively and gradually, a strong foundation on principles of international law and controversial subjects relevant to the internation- al community.
ILSA-UNIBE recognizes the necessity to affiliate with local and international entities with whom we share the same objective and can collaborate with in the future events we plan to host. Among the activities we plan to organize is our own in- ternational law weekend in cooperation with law firms, faculty professors, and non-governmen- tal associations such as the Association of the United Nations, and other Law School students associations. As international law competitions approach, we plan to organize a panel where the students representing the university in conjunc- tion with experts on international law will explain the main arguments on the case under exami- nation and train future competitors on the pro- cedures of the most important international law competitions. Our first event will revolve around the 2015 Compromis of the Jessup Competition, by holding an expert panel available for all audi- ence, and creating a panel by the team members after the national rounds where they share their experience and motivate others.
UNIBE is founder of the first Free Legal Aid An- nual Fair in our country known as ¨Lex UNIBE¨, where our ILSA Chapter will become actively in- volved with the Law School Student Association (GRED-UNIBE) in the promotion of international law and assistance. We hope for an alliance with the Vice Presidency of the Dominican Republic
