January in San Francisco is beautiful. Here two Chinese ladies have a picnic lunch in view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Students, families, children, and others thronged to Market Street to rally for peace.

As another war with Iraq loomed, we at the USF International Law Society put together a panel of professors to explore topics related to the impending conflict.

After the war started, thousands more took to the streets to show their disapproval. Riot police were not far behind, picking out those causing trouble, placing plastic handcuffs on them, and hauling them to be booked in a borrowed MUNI bus.

As school neared to a close, we had an end-of-the-year party at Ruby Skye.

Members of the International Law Society traveled to Washington, D.C. for an international law conference.

In D.C., we saw Justice Stephen Breyer of the United States Supreme Court speak on the relevance of international law to domestic court decisions.
