  1. Bowling : Thursday April 6th, 2006. 830pm – 11pm; Belleville Lanes; $15 dollars a person for advance registration. In order to execute this fundraiser, we have taken volunteers to be section leaders. Sections Leaders will act as the point person for their section. Their responsibilities include disseminating information, creating enthusiasm and competition, and selling tickets. They will also be responsible for passing around an Interest Survey. We ask each member to try to pull together a team of 5 or 6 players (not composed of ILS members). Awards will go to the highest scoring and most creative team.

  2. Jessup International Moot Court Results : The Jessup team returned from a successful competition hosted by Shearman & Sterling’s NY offices. This year’s team members were Andrew Farrley, Lyndsay Speece, Tracey Eilbacher, Jocelin Singer, Jody Walker, Jenee Ciccarelli, Lisa Scorsolini and Anthony Poulin. Italicized team members competed in Oral Arguments in the regional competition. The team placed 7th overall in our Region. Andrew Farrelly was named one of the top 10 oralists in the region.
    1. ILS members were encouraged to register for Jessup in the fall. However, International Law is a pre-req or co-req for this competition.
  3. Interest Survey
    1. Will be distributed by section leaders to be signed. All other members may participate. This survey is of unique importance in our maintenance of international classes. It will be used to show that there is interest and therefore a demand for International classes so that we can try to get a better schedule in the future.
  4. Speakers : The E-Board has been in contact with the International Law Section of the NJ Bar Association who are willing to provide speakers for future ILS events and assist with preparation of future Jessup teams.
  5. Elections
    1. Will be held on April 4th, 2006 at 5pm. This will be our last meeting for the semester. Mark your Calendars so you can come out. Vote is done by a simple majority.
