WCL ELSA Team Selected

Three weeks ago members of the WTO Moot Team conducted their final moot presentation and brief submission.  The team, student mentors, and coaches worked for the better part of the semester to put together these materials and make them ready for the international competition.  The ELSA (European Law Students Association) conducts a WTO Moot every year on a variety of trade related topics.  This year's topic has been focused on the tricky subject of currency manipulation and the trade imbalances it can create. WCL has been well represented in the past and we hope this year to come back with a win!

The regional competition will be held in the spring at WCL as part of our outstanding trade law program.

The Final Team Members selected were:
Thomas Kirby
Christine Casaceli
Heng Loke
Lindsay Heebner

Congratulations to the Final Team!  We wish them the best of luck in the coming months of preparation and at the Moot!
The Holidays may be over by January 10, 2013, but the WCL-ITILS and WITA are hoping to carry the holiday cheer over to the new year.  On the evening of January 10th, WITA (the Washington International Trade Association) will be hosting their festive holiday party.  Information is here:  http://www.wita.org/en/cev/1488
The party will be at the Dupont Circle Hotel, and all ITILS members are welcome to join.  If you're not a member, send an email to myitils@gmail.com, and we'll try to get you in as a guest of one of the members.  This is a great opportunity to meet with leaders in the field of international trade law in the Washington area.  The event is no charge to student members and their guests, but please register early.  If you have questions concerning the specific event, please contact:
