What is International Law? Come find out!

MILS is very excited to present our first on-campus event of the year - "international Law 101." The event is meant ot provide students with an informal introduction to the broad field of international law for a brief one-hour session.

This year we are delighted and privileged to have Professor Mark Fathi Massoud adn Me Pearl Eliadis as our guest speakers.

Professor Massoud teaches in McGill's Faculty of Law in the areas of international law, human rights, and law and society. He is currently teaching "Public International Law" to upper year students.

Pear Eliadis, a McGill grad, is a well-known international lawyer. With over 20 years experience in law, human rights, national human rights institutions and public administration, Me Eliadis advises governments and institutional clients including the United Nations, the European Commission, the OSCE and NGOs.

Both speakers have a tremendous amount of knowledge of private and public international law topics, and have much to offer in terms of career advice.

Please join us during universal break on Wednesday November 9th from 12:45-1:45 in room 203.
