ILSA Chapter Happenings 82
The group has also been working on the Spring 2012 publication of its “International Law Society Digest” (ILSD), which is a collection of written pieces by CUNY Law students, ranging from per- sonal narratives and opinion editorials to scholarly works and articles. The Digest was started by students in order to help facilitate a space for stu- dents interested in international law to express their ideas, research, and experiences. The ILSD is published on an annual basis. For the 2011-2012 school year the collective has chosen an editorial board, and placed a call for submissions. Currently ILS is in the process of preparing several articles for publication. This year the publication will fea- ture: substantive articles, op-eds, creative writ- ing monologues, and photography. Editors work closely with writers to craft an article that will be concise, compelling, and well-researched. ILS anticipates that the 2012 issue will be launched online in April. The group is also currently finish- ing a project to digitize past ILSD issues. To this end, the group has created an online archive and website hosted by CUNY Commons. In addition, the new issue will be online focused, as opposed to print focused. This complies with the group’s collective goal to reduce our reliance on print re- sources.
From March 26-29, ILS will host an “International Law Society Week.” ILS will invite speakers and show films which relate to several different areas of international law -- from International Women’s Rights to the creation of the International Crimi- nal Court. On Wednesday, the group will screen a film called “The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court.” On Thursday, the group will host two women’s human rights ac- tivists to speak to students during the day. That night, the group will end ILS Week with an “In- ternational Beer Night” celebration, which will feature an Irish human rights activist speaker, and ILS will serve beers from around the world to the student community. Throughout this whole week, group members will also set up a table
advertising ILSA and various study- and intern- abroad programs.
WASHBURN ILS
Washburn University School of Law Topeka, Kansas USA Kaitlin Marsh, ILS Member
The International Law Society of Washburn Uni- versity School of Law, located in Topeka, Kansas, has worked diligently this year to expand pro- gramming and interest through our school in in- ternational law. In the past year, ILS has increased membership and has seen widespread interest in international law.
This year ILS launched an international law film series. Several films and documentaries were chosen for screening including “The Reckoning,” “Breaker Morant,” and “Thirteen Days.” Follow- ing the films, students participated in a question and answer session regarding the legal issues in each film.
In October, Professor Craig Martin presented a speech about the legality of drone-based target- ed killing policies from the perspective of interna- tional law on the use of force.
In March, Washburn’s ILS co-sponsored a speak- ing event for Patricia E. Apy, an International and Interstate Family Law Attorney and known expert in child custody and abductions. Apy’s talk cen- tered on David Goldman, whose son was kept from him in Brazil by his former wife.
Along with the Center for Law and Government at Washburn School of Law, ILS sponsored and event with Marta Poor, and international intellec- tual property speaker. Poor’s discussion focused on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its government-affairs, international, and intellectual property related implications.
