Testimonials:
"UMass Law has talented students who regularly punch above their weight and make a good impression on others. I witnessed firsthand the tremendous impact and significant success we had both at International Law Weekend conferences and at the Jessup Moot Court Competition, despite lacking financial resources. With your assistance, UMass Law can provide funding to more students, giving them the opportunity to display their high level of intellectual skill and field top-tier teams to compete with the best." - Gevorg Novshadyan '24 " In my experience International Law Weekend was a gateway to opportunities. ILW introduced me to local, national, and international actors within the field of International Law and offered interesting expert panels discussing the latest issues facing the ICC. Personally, I loved the discussion on who owns the interest accrued on sanctions? ILW also introduced me to ILSA, which then provided me the opportunity to try out and join the JESSUP competition team. And all in the middle of New York City, this is an opportunity you can't pass up! " - Chelsea Rennie '26 “International Law Weekend was a fantastic opportunity for both learning and networking. The connections I made and the knowledge I gained have been invaluable for my professional development!” - Sophia Chiotis ‘25
