ILSA Chapter Happenings
international tax will continue to be offered in the upcoming year and beyond. Actually, the is- sue had surfaced during International Law Hour Episode II. Students expressed the desire to take the class before graduating but did not know how to make it happen. The ILS stepped in to create a petition, invest in posters and other visuals to make the cause known, and is currently awaiting a positive response from law school representa- tives concerning the matter. The petition has es- tablished the ILS as a true advocate for our mem- bers and concerned law students at-large.
Like many ILS Chapters under ILSA, our mem- bers organized a focused team for the 2012 Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Com- petition. The team held regular practices, were rigorously coached, and exhibited excellent advo- cacy skills in the regional tournament in Chicago, Illinois. Working from scratch, one of the best results of this year’s team was building a solid platform for future squads to work from.
The ILS at Indiana University McKinney School of Law has benefited from a well-structured academic year. Our outstanding leadership has paved the way for a new syndicate of ambitious leaders looking to make our organization a per- petual success.

The International Law Society of the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law has an ex- tremely eventful spring semester planned.
To start the spring semester off, the ILS congratu- lated the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition Team. The Team participated in the Rocky Mountain Regional Competition and
received First Place for their written Memorial and made it to the semi-finals, falling one victory short of representing the United States in the fi- nals. They had an amazing run. Our ELSA Moot Court team also had an extremely successful run at the WTO competition in Washington D.C. Also, several LLM students participated in the LLM In- ternational Commercial Arbitration Moot Court Competition in Washington D.C. Congratulations to all the team members! And we are wishing the Inter-American Human Rights Moot Court Team Good Luck in their competition.
The week of March 19-22, ILS will be hosting International Law Week! The week will consis- tent of various lectures, movies, and of course, international food! The week will kick-off with a trivia game. Students will be tested on their in- ternational law knowledge by answering several trivia questions, the top 3 winners will get a spe- cial prize. The next event will be a Q&A session presented by a panel of local attorneys and law professor and will be about the proposed State bans on Sharia and International Law and the re- cent decision by the 10th Circuit regarding the ban in Oklahoma. Next the ILS will be screening a 60-minute documentary on the Amanda Knox trials in Italy and will be followed by a panel dis- cussion discussing the difference in criminal pro- ceedings in the US and in Italy. International Law week will end with an international potluck where students will bring in dishes from all around the world! All of the events in International Law week are open to whole law school, including students, professors, and staff.
All in all, ILS is extremely excited for this year. This year is an opportunity to grow and expand our horizons. With new faculty, and members from all around the world, ILS is optimistic and enthusiastic for an amazing year.
