International Court of Justice (ICJ)
What is the ICJ?
The International Court of Justice is the primary judicial organ of the United Nations, which works to solve disputes between nations. Since its creation, it has taken on cases concerning territorial disputes, disarmament, and human rights abuses. The court is composed of 10-15 judges and two teams of 2-3 advocates (lawyers in the ICJ).
In AAS ICJ, we work throughout the year to prepare for an ICJ Simulation in the spring. We are looking for participants who enjoy debate and have an interest in expanding their knowledge on international relations. We proudly boast that ICJ is also the only AAS organisation involving activities relating to the legal sphere. AAS ICJ also provides the experience needed for students to apply to international ICJ simulations, such at THIMUN. So far, we have known all who participated to enjoy the experience and hope that you consider working with us this year to host the AAS ICJ 2021.
Roles in ICJ
Advocate: Being an advocate in AAS ICJ is the perfect opportunity to enhance your research and debating skills, simulating the experience of a lawyer in an international court. Throughout the year, advocates research the facts of the case, gather evidence, and prepare witnesses for the final simulation in the spring. We would especially recommend this position to 9th and 10th graders, as being an advocate would be a continuous preparation process throughout several months leading up to the hearing.
Judge: An AAS ICJ judge only participates in the ultimate simulation, questioning the witnesses and evaluating the arguments put forth by the advocates. A judge in ICJ does not act in the traditional image of a judge, but is more akin to the jury, as they make the final verdict according to the evidence provided. This position requires no additional workload leading up to the simulation, so it’s great for those who want to test the waters of ICJ or MUN, or alternatively those with higher workloads, such as IB students.
If you have any questions regarding the ICJ or unsure if you would like to join, feel free to contact us Yana Tucker, Finn Carpenter, or Zihan Su We look forward to working with you in future.

Global Impact Club
D&D
Typical D&D Session
Dungeons & Dragons, is objectively one of the most popular and famous tabletop roleplaying games in which the members of a party will go on adventures, discover treasures, fight monsters and explore mystical worlds with their comrades. Our D&D club has been a fairly new organization in the High School, however, despite that fact, it has already been one of the most popular clubs in the past year due to the preservation and engagement of its members. It has been a significant tradition of the AAS to strengthen the community bonds and the D&D club provides such an opportunity as the activity itself aids in the development of skills such as cooperation, creativity, and critical thinking.
Players & DMs will be encouraged to attend regular Dungeons and Dragons club meetings, although with the current pandemic of COVID-19 the club executives will understand unavoidable absences; thus the club will function in both online and physical form, in order to ensure the accessibility of the service to everyone. The club is supposed to serve as a safe place and as a social room for HS students, the club’s intention is not to be a duty or a burden for the players, but a cheerful and stress-free social environment in the AAS.
All of the members will be encouraged to attend meetings on Wednesdays after school in room 5017a or on our Discord server “D&D Dynamite”. The only requirement that a possible member has to fulfill is to join the Dungeons & Dragons Google Classroom (code: ptcxq7y) in order to be aware of the directions that will be given by the Executive team.
Whether you are interested in exploring new stories, adventures, and playing RPGs or becoming involved in the beautiful art of DMing & guiding others through their challenges, please fill out and submit the digital application form by October 9th, Friday. Email Jan Karpiuk or Javid Mustafa if you have any questions or concerns!
Our Mission statement is: D&D club provides the opportunity for AAS students to discover and participate in group tabletop games and activities, developing both life skills such as: cooperation, critical and creative thinking that help to traverse realistic scenarios in the interactive games as well as helping students destress and form new friendships.
I hope to see you out there, fellow adventurers.
