CILSC 2005
--------------------
What do the prosecution of Saddam Hussein, the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defence Program, Shari’a Law, International Climate Policy, human rights, and the future of NAFTA all have in common? This year’s 12th annual Canadian International Law Students Conference. The CILSC is organized by two law schools in Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Osgoode Hall Law School and the University of Toronto Law School.
This year's two-day event engaged students, scholars, policy-makers, lawyers and activists alike, in discussions on some of the most timely and controversial issues of public and private international law. The unprecedented line-up of speakers included former Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations Paul Heinbecker, Alex Neve, the Secretary-General of Amnesty International Canada, Lawrence Herman, a leading Canadian international trade lawyer, Dr. Clarence Dias, the President of the International Centre for Law in Development in New York City, former Ontario Attorney-General Marion Boyd, and many other distinguished experts in international law.
In past years, the CILSC welcomed hundreds of students from law schools across Ontario. In light of the rapidly changing global socio-economic climate, the CILSC has grown to become a premiere event, pushing the boundaries of discussion on many important issues in international law, and helping to influence the direction of international law in Canada.
Well, after months of preparation, the big event finally took place. It was a resounding success by all accounts, and once again I'm deeply impressed with the calibre of people that I am privileged to know and to work with on a daily basis. Kudos to the executive, the panel chairs and committee members, and the volunteers for getting this thing off the ground. The hard work paid off, and yet another notch has been added to the belt of accomplishments in this very busy first year of law school.
On to the next set of projects...
