Conferences
"Comparative Perspectives on International Criminal Justice", November 14-15, 2008
Speakers
Daniel Taub, Principal Deputy Legal Advisor to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, visited Fletcher at the behest of the LL.M. program to discuss “The Role of International Law in the Middle East Peace Process.” He has served as a member of Israel’s negotiating teams with Syria and the Palestinians, and currently serves as head of the Israeli side of the Israeli-Palestinian Culture of Peace negotiations.
In March 2009, the LLM Program welcomed H.E. Ambassador Abdalla Baali, Algerian Ambassador to the United States, whose extensive twenty-year career has also included serving as Ambassador to the U.N., as well as to Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and Brunei Darussalam. The Ambassador’s speech discussed whether the U.N. Security Council could solve international conflicts, using the case of Western Sahara as an example, and was followed by a reception with students and faculty.
Social Events
LL.M. students participate in a wide variety of social events, including annual events organized in tandem with the Tufts Lawyers Association (TLA), an alumni group consisting of Tufts graduates who also have law degrees. The TLA hosts an annual ‘Law on the Hill’ reception, usually held in March. In addition, the LL.M. program and the TLA jointly sponsor a welcome reception each year for the LL.M. class. In 2008, this event is being generously hosted by Tom Holt, Partner at KL Gates, on October 30, 2008. For event information, or to register, please visit Alumni Connections.
