University of Georgia School of Law student Haichen Zhao (J.D. ’27) was selected by the American Branch of the International Law Association (“ABILA”) to be a 2025 Student Ambassador. She is one of eight Ambassadors selected nationwide to assist with the work of the organization, especially in the preparation of the International Law Weekend 2025 conference.

In response to her selection as a Student Ambassador, Zhao reflected:

Being selected as a Student Ambassador for ABILA is a tremendous honor. With legal education spanning China and the United States, I am passionate about cross-cultural exchange and international collaboration in law. This role provides a unique opportunity to engage more deeply with the global legal community and support the work of ABILA. I look forward to contributing to the development of International Law Weekend, deepening my knowledge of international law, and helping other students discover the diverse academic and professional opportunities available in this field.

Zhao is the third Georgia Law student in the last three years to be selected as an ABILA Student Ambassador. In the past two years, Madison Graham (J.D. ’25) and Bohdan Krivuts (LL.M. 24, J.D. ’26) have served in this role.
