The Board of Directors of the Société québécoise de droit international decided on November 3rd, 2015 to nominate Léa Lemay Langlois and Julie Roy as Co-presidents of the Society’s Student Circle. They succeed Kristine Plouffe-Malette. The Society takes this opportunity to thank the Circle’s Co-founder and outgoing president for her outstanding work and warmly welcomes the new Co-presidents.

Formed in 2007, the Society’s Circle aims to offer a forum for university students of all academic levels, mainly enrolled in faculties of law in Quebec, to share their interest in international law. It organizes on a yearly basis conferences and symposium bringing together students and professors.

Léa Lemay Langlois is a Université du Québec à Montréal graduate with a B. Sc. in international relations and international law (2013) and a LL.B. (2015). Since 2012, she has held different positions with QJIL ; she is currently Assistant to the Editor in Chief as well as Assistant Secretary General to the Society’s Board of Directors. Ms Lemay Langlois is currently enrolled at l’École du Barreau du Québec.

Julie Roy is a Université de Montréal graduate with a B. Sc. in International Studies and currently a LL.M (International Law) candidate. During her studies, she pursued an interest in the UN human rights protection system and in the prevention and punishment of “mass atrocity” crimes. This interest motivated her to participate in the National Model United Nations in New York (2010 and 2012) and to intern with the International Bureau for Children’s Rights (2014). She is involved with the Society and the Journal since 2013.
