… Thank you CIL NUS for making the programme accessible to me. I am from Sri Lanka and do not see a way of travelling abroad to learn by attending similar programmes for some time to come, until this pandemic settles down. This was an amazing opportunity for me to expand my knowledge and be exposed to the new and unique thoughts and takes of amazing academics that I could only dream of meeting in person. There was a lot that I took back with me and have now some clarity as to what my path as a future lawyer ought to be. I felt heard at every point of each lecture I attended and that to me was very special. I sincerely hope to join your future online programmes because they were undoubtedly amazing! |

… It was truly a privilege to learn from and interact with esteemed experts in various fields of international law. I gained a lot of new knowledge to bring with me to my law practice. This format allowed us to remain productive during this pandemic, and I look forward to future editions. |

The lessons were particularly helpful as it cited updated cases that can be used in practice or alignment of legal strategy. Thank you for the patience of allowing us to go on a limited presence at times which allows those of us who are at work to be able to attend. Very thankful to you and ms Gerry for the level of organization and sending out the guides and reminders on every class day that allowed me to attend the entire program (considering that it’s easy to miss with work commitments or overlapping meetings). |

It’s been a tremendous opportunity to spend these weeks virtually with CIL Academy … It has been a pleasure to get connected virtually with the professionals who have succeeded a lot in the field of International laws like members of the International Law Commission. Lastly but not least, I would like to thanks all the professors and doctors who took their time to offer these tremendous lectures online. They were approachable virtually, listening and kind as they could give opportunities of interfering lectures with the questions. To my fellow participants of the CIL Academy, I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Let’s keep learning as International laws will never be static and will keep evolving depending on the time and circumstances we are living in. Thank you so much. |
