ASIL – Loyola University Chicago School of Law International Law Career Panel and Speed Mentoring Event [1]
The American Society of International Law (ASIL), in co-sponsorship with its Academic Partner Loyola University Chicago School of Law and ASIL's Midwest Interest Group, will host this forum to give law students and new legal professionals exposure to experienced international practitioners. The event will begin with a brief introduction of the panelists and several questions presented by D. Wes Rist, ASIL’s director of education and research. The panel is 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 at which a small group of students can spend 10-12 minutes asking more questions of the experts. Students will then be able to rotate among tables, thus having the chance to speak directly with multiple panelists.
Panelists include:
- Lesley Benn [2], Executive Director, International Law Students Association
- Jay P. Dahlin [3], Partner, Schiller DuCanto & Fleck, LLP
- Shahram Dana [4], Associate Professor, The John Marshall Law School; former Legal Officer, United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
- John C. Dehn [5], Assistant Professor, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, retired JAG officer, U.S. Army
- Nicola Fiordalisi [6], Partner, Bryan Cave, LLP
- Thomas M. Keating [7], Partner, Hodes Keating & Pilon
- Christine H. Martinez [8], Associate, Barnes/Richardson
- Sarah Riddell, Investment Management Associate, Morgan, Lewis, Bockius, LLP; former attorney, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
- Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Charles Tucker [9], Executive Director, World Engagement Institute
The 90-minute speed mentoring event will be followed by a networking reception.
