About us

🌍 What We Are

The International Affairs & Legal Studies Club is a student-led platform dedicated to exploring how law, diplomacy, and political systems shape global events.
Founded by Chris Rizos, the initiative invites students to engage with real-world challenges through writing, discussion, and collaborative projects.

🎯 Mission

Our mission is to provide a space where students can examine the role of law in global affairs β€” including diplomacy, human rights, international governance, corporate responsibility, and global justice.
We foster independent thinking, research, and civic awareness through student-driven content and events.

πŸŽ“ Who It’s For

The club welcomes high school students with an interest in: law, international relations, political science, history, economics, or global policy.
Students in Grade 8 may join as Junior Members, attending select activities without leadership roles.

πŸ›  What We Do

We organize monthly events and projects such as:
πŸ—£ Roundtable discussions on current global legal issues
🎀 Guest speakers from diplomacy, law, and journalism
πŸ“½ Film & Forum sessions with post-screening analysis
πŸ“° A digital newsletter featuring student-written articles

🀝 Collaboration

We do not offer diplomatic simulations or formal debate training, as these are already hosted by other school clubs (e.g. MUN, Speech & Debate).
However, we welcome joint initiatives on shared global topics β€” where each club contributes its unique perspective.

πŸ“… Club Calendar

We operate from October to May, publishing four newsletters a year and hosting events such as guest lectures, workshops, and student forums.
