UBC Law Students' Society

The International Law Society (ILS) exists to engage students in matters of international law. It seeks to create a forum to discuss matters of international law and to help students garner an appreciation that we live in an increasingly interdependent world where there are overlapping interests among states and their peoples.

It seeks to work with, and be familiar with the work of, other international law-focused organizations – whether on campus, regional, national or global – and to make the membership aware of opportunities that may be of interest.
