MC ILS Joins International Law Student Association

Our ILS chapter joined the International Law Student Association this pasts week. ILSA is a "non-profit association of students and lawyers who are dedicated to the promotion of international law. ILSA provides students with opportunities to study, research, and network in the international legal arena. The organization's activities include academic conferences, publications, the global coordination of student organizations, and the administration of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition."

The ILS chapter at MC is excited about our new membership with this national organization and looks forward to furthering the International Law Center at MC with our membership. We are also excited about the upcoming Jessup competition. Although MC did not have a team participate last year, a five-member team from MC will be competing this spring in the competition.
