ILSA Chapter Happenings 80


term, post-law school benefits. We hosted two major events so far. The first was “So, You Want to be an International Lawyer?” This event fea- tured three of our international law professors providing career advice to mostly 1Ls to help them start making proper international law ca- reer choices at the beginning of their law school careers. Professor Amann, our GSICL advisor, Emily and Ernest Woodruff Chair in International Law at the University of Georgia School of Law, and Special Adviser on Children in Armed Con- flict to the International Criminal Court, Office of the Prosecutor, provided pointers to students on how to stand out to international employers. More specifically, she explained the importance of being involved in international law societies, paper publication, course choices, and more. Professor Timothy Meyer shared his experiences working for several years at the U.S. Department of State Office of the Legal Adviser. Before that, he served as a judicial clerk to Judge Neil M. Gor- such of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Dean Peter Rutledge, who previously clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas, added more advice based on his experience and emphasized the importance of being able to speak more than one language. Students were provided with re- sources to help guide their academic and career choices over the coming years. Students were also introduced to UGA Law’s Global Internship Program which places students in summer in- ternships all over the world. 1L’s and 2L’s were also introduced to the summer law programs in Brussels, Geneva, and China, and the spring le- gal program in Oxford, England.


The second event this semester was “Sustain- able Development Promotion in Indonesia.” GSICL collaborated with The Asian Law Students Association and The Environmental Law Asso- ciation in hosting Professor Sri Wahyuni from Islamic University of Riau, Sumatra-Indonesia. She discussed sustainable development issues in Indonesia including problems of deforestation,


rapid population growth, reduction in available natural resources, and more. She also took the opportunity to promote her summer internship program at the Islamic University of Riau. 1L students were encouraged to consider applying for a chance to work with Professor Wahyuni. It was Professor Wahyuni’s first time in the United States so it was an honor that she chose to be hosted by UGA Law.


GSICL is currently helping to plan a statewide panel collaboration next semester along with the World Affairs Council of Atlanta, King & Spalding, and Henning Mediation & Arbitration Service, Inc. The panel will be an expanded version of our “So, You Want to be an International Lawyer” event and is tentatively set to include represen- tatives from King & Spalding, Henning Mediation & Arbitration Service, Inc., and more. The loca- tion is tentatively set at Emory University School of Law. We are hoping to make this an annual event in which we rotate the Georgia state law school that hosts this event every year. Part of the goal is to connect students new in the work force to job opportunities they may not other- wise be exposed to in their job search.


GSICL remains active, even on social media, in seeking out new event ideas and collaborating with other organizations school-wide and state- wide to provide our student body with the most beneficial information. We use our Facebook group not only to communicate with new mem- bers but also to stay in touch with those who have graduated. Members also have access to a weekly newsletter generated by Professor Harlan G. Cohen with upcoming events, job post- ings, and more.
