International Law Society Hosts Event, Sponsors Donation Drive
08/28/2012
The International Law Society (ILS) hosted International Law Hour: Episode 1 in October. Professors George Edwards, Frank Emmert, and Tom Wilson showcased the many international law-related activities at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law, including international human rights internships, international moot court competitions, and the summer study abroad program in Beijing, China. The next Episode will showcase local professionals working in international law, who will describe globally-oriented job prospects in Indiana, and will be a source of networking for event participants.
On the humanitarian side of things, the ILS is currently co-sponsoring a donation drive for Exodus, a local non-governmental organization (NGO) that helps refugees, asylum seekers, and other immigrants in need of support. Food, clothing, and other tangibles are being collected as part of the drive. And coming soon, the ILS will lead a drive for Project Sole, an NGO that collects shoes for impoverished peoples around the world who can’t afford footwear and suffer from feet ailments.
The ILS is focused on a balanced approach to helping students find career opportunities, helping those in need of basic necessities, as well as collaborating with other groups to make our mission possible.
