Interested in international law? Want to have one of the most rewarding experiences of all of law school? Come to the info sessions next week and tryouts on May 15 for DU's Jessup International Moot Court team!

ILS congratulates the DU Jessup International Moot Court Team for making it to the semifinal rounds of the US regional competition in New Orleans! We are so proud of you!

ILS was honored to host Tom Syring, the 2020 American-Scandinavian Foundation Visiting Lecturer in the Rule of Law and Forced Migration, Chairman of the Human Rights Research League, and a Visiting Scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg. Mr. Syring spoke to his expertise on emergency relief in failing states, particularly on emergency responses to refugee and health crises in states with ongoing armed conflict.

ILS was so fortunate to spend some time volunteering at Project C.U.R.E. today. Project C.U.R.E. receives donated medical equipment and supplies and distributes them throughout under-resourced world. We sorted just a tiny fraction of the millions of supplies that will find their way to hospitals and clinics that may not otherwise have access to such resources. Check out their amazing and impactful work at https://projectcure.org/.

Yesterday, DU ILS had the honor of hosting Finish Ambassador to the US, Kirsti Kauppi. She discussed Finland’s role in the EU, as it relates to human rights and multilateralism. Thank you to the Colorado European Union Center of Excellence (CEUCE) for assistance in coordinating!

DU Sturm College of Law students had the unique opportunity to hear from Brian Leedy, defense attorney at Haddon, Morgan and Foreman and David Tonini, Assistant US Attorney. These two incredibly talented speakers shared their experience working on cases involving the domestic prosecution of international terrorism here in Colorado. 🌎🌍🌏
