ILSA Chapter Happenings
wide pre-selection which was met by an unprec- edented number of candidates who showed academic aptitudes as well as an emphasis on debate skills.
Thus we were confident that the teams repre- senting the University of Bucharest in the 2012 Jessup and Telders International Law Moot Court Competitions as well as the Romanian National Rounds for the two competitions were likely to achieve great results, which they did, not the least of which are the two “Best Speaker in Competition” awards won in each contest.
Two of our members, who were not involved di- rectly with the teams, also took on the organiza- tional aspects of the national rounds of the two competitions. One became the National Admin- istrator of the Jessup National Rounds and orga- nized them with the gracious help of the neutral University of Sibiu. Among the achievements during the national rounds we list securing a highly competent panel of judges, well versed in the field of international law, presided over by the Lawyer and Official Advisor to the Royal House of Romania, a former Jessup participant himself. Our other ASDIP member became part of the na- tional organizing committee for the Telders com- petition and played her part in the well running of this year’s rounds.
Among our most important achievements so far is that of having Romanian teams involved in more than 10 different International Law events by comparison with previous years when the number was less than 5 and raising more than 5000 Euros for registration, travel or accommo- dation expenses for the students participating in such events. For future projects, our plan is to turn these participations into real success sto- ries, while also organizing other events and get- ting underway our first personal project, the first annual ASDIP International Law Week.
The week consists of a series of planed events which include a career panel with guests already
working in the field, workshops on a number of issues facing the international community, a mov- ie night focusing on an international issue with discussion panel afterwards and, culminating the week, a black tie social event that will bring together students, teachers and leading public figures in the international law community.
After the week-long marathon we will be focus- ing on smaller, one day events like The Internship Program, which is aimed at bringing together law firms and public institutions who offer internship programs and students interested in applying.
Thus we hope to have a successful and busy year and reach out to other student organizations both in our country and around the globe with the offer of mutual assistance and shared com- mon experiences.

City Univ. of New York School of Law Flushing, New York USA Jackie Sheltry, ILS Member
The student-run International Law Society (ILS) at the City University of New York School of Law in Flushing, New York has spent this academic year hosting student panels and plans to publish an international law digest and host a week of international-law related events by the end of the school year.
In October 2011, ILS hosted an intern- and study- abroad informational session. The session was lead by fellow CUNY Law students, who spoke about their internship and study abroad experi- ences in Columbia,Turkey, India, Hungary, South Africa, and Switzerland. In addition to informing 1L and 2L students about where to look for in- ternships, the students also provided some in- sight on ways to secure funding for internships abroad.
