International Law Career Panel and Speed Mentoring Event

Description: 

The American Society of International Law (ASIL), in co-sponsorship with the John Marshall Law School, ASIL-Midwest, and ASIL's New Professionals Interest Group, will host a unique forum giving law students and new legal professionals access to experienced international practitioners. The event will begin with a brief introduction of the panelists and questions presented by Wes Rist, ASIL's director of education and research, designed to provide insight into professional development opportunities, as well as to illustrate the various avenues the panelists took into international legal practice. Following the group discussion, each panelist will “host” a table where a small group of students can spend 10-12 minutes asking more personal, directed questions of the participants. Students will then be able to rotate to a new table, gaining the chance to learn about several different avenues of international employment.

  • Bartram S. Brown, professor, Chicago-Kent College of Law
  • Shahram Dana, associate professor, The John Marshall Law School, former Legal Officer, United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
