Congratulations to Sydney Robson of the American University Washington College of Law on winning the 2025 ILSA Student Deak Award presented at the American Society of International Law’s 2025 Annual Meeting last weekend.
The Student Deak Award is given annually to the best international law student article in a student-edited law journal. The award honors Francis Deak, a WWII veteran who wrote extensively on international law. The award is the student corollary to the Deak Prize separately awarded by the American Journal of International Law to a younger author for meritorious scholarship in the prior year’s volume of the Journal.
In addition to receiving the ILSA Student Deak Award, Sydney was a member of her law school’s Jessup team and recently participated in the White & Case International Rounds.

If you weren’t able to attend the Final Rounds of the 2025 White & Case International Rounds or watch it on YouTube, you are probably wondering what next year’s topic will be.
The Jessup 2026 Problem will present the following issues: (1) Who has the right to intervene in proceedings before the International Court of Justice? (2) What are the rights of indigenous peoples relating to rare earth minerals found in their land? (3) What are “the general principles of law recognized by civilized nations”? and (4) When is a state immune from the domestic jurisdiction of another state when it has caused economic harm to citizens of that state?
We expect the problem to be released in September 2025.
