In Memoriam
Association of International Petroleum NegotiatorsThe Association of International Petroleum Negotiators has selected Kathleen Campbell of the Law Center as one of two winners in the 2008 AIPN Student Writing Competition.  Campbell’s essay – “The Tide Has Turned: Incorporating the Law of the Sea Treaty Into America’s Energy Policy” – earns her a trip to the AIPN International Conference to be held in Edinburgh, Scotland, in September.  FYI, Campbell played a key role in launching an AIPN Club at the Law Center.
