Thank you, Lesley!

We would like to thank Lesley Benn for her decade of service to the Jessup as she steps down as ILSA Executive Director. Lesley has consistently pushed to make the Jessup the biggest and best moot court competition in the world, and there is no doubt that tens of thousands of law students have been positively impacted by her efforts. While Lesley will stay involved in the Jessup community, we will all miss her constant presence and leadership. Tessa Walker will serve as Interim Executive Director of ILSA until a permanent replacement can be appointed. On behalf of the entire Jessup community, thank you and good luck, Lesley!
