ILSA Chapter Happenings
in order to work under a campaign named “ILSA Cares, Community Service” and assist the gov- ernment on their many social programs to eradi- cate extreme poverty, hunger, and lack of educa- tion. In addition, we are working with the “PB Animal Lovers” foundation
http://www.patricia-
blancoanimalfoundation.org/ , in order to write the regulation missing for the Animal Protection Act with the guidance of our faculty advisor Di- anivel Guzmán, and forward it to Congress for consideration.

Our website will be available soon, as well as our social media presence promoting open events, our agenda, international law resources, and fa- cilitating the membership to the chapter through electronic subscription forms. ILSA-UNIBE strongly believes in the outreach and impact pro- vided by publishing articles for an international magazine; we support and encourage critical reasoning about controversial topics in our coun- try that need to be shared with the international community.
We look forward to establishing new relation- ships with students and lawyers around the globe, in order to exchange cultures, ideas, and plan constructive video lectures regarding inter- national law or the happenings on their Chapter. We are very interested in international and insti- tutional relations. Feel free to contact us at info@

WILS
University of Wisconsin Law School Madison, Wisconsin USA
Laura Bachmann, President
WILS has had an active fall semester. We’ve re- cruited several new members to our organization, advised our students on international internships and international fellowships, and connected with graduate students within our law school. As the
volume 22
semester winds down (or up) we are planning to host a study brunch, and give our members some coffee to get them through finals.
Our most successful event this semester was a graduate student panel hosted by our organiza- tion. With our new graduate student representa- tive on our executive board, Koffi Dogbevi, we were able to arrange a panel of graduate students who spoke on the legal systems and issues in their respective countries, which included Ger- many, Iraq, China, and Bangladesh.
At the panel, Martin gave us an overview of the German legal system, highlighting the differenc- es between a civil and common law system. Ka- reem gave a presentation on Iraq’s legal system and the 2005 constitution. As an attorney from Kurdistan, he was able to highlight how Kurdis- tan fit within the legal system of Iraq. We learned that the laws of Kurdistan were largely incorpo- rated into the federal law post-2005, since the laws in Kurdistan had been passed democratical- ly, while those from the state had not been. Ying spoke with us about the Chinese legal system, highlighting the difference in the hierarchy of the system on paper and in practice. Cynthia gave us a brief legal history of Bangladesh. She then spoke about public interest lawyering in Bangla- desh, and the social, economic, and cultural dif- ferences that need to be overcome for lawyers and NGOs to be effective.
We greatly appreciate the participation of our graduate students in WILS this year, and are for- tunate to have been able to add a graduate stu- dent representative to our board, since we did not have one last year.
In other news, we have selected a team to send to the Inter American Human Rights Moot host- ed by American University this spring. We are looking forward to getting the problem this De- cember, and hope to see some of you there!
