A model law on the regulation of private military and security companies operating internationally, which was worked out by UW Law School students in the Wisconsin International Law Society (WILS), is the subject of an article published in the Russian journal International Criminal Law and International Justice (No. 2, 2009).

The students were requested to conduct the research by José Luis Gómez del Prado, then the Chair of the United Nations Working Group on the Use of Mercenaries.
                    
Working under WILS Research Project Coordinator Margaret Maffai, the student researchers who contributed to the project were: Neeraj Agarwal, Melanie Black, Elizabeth Constable, Pauline Chow, Anuradha Chudasama, Sophy Chhun, Brian Edstrom, Steven Fioritto, Jennifer Hassemer, Nicole Kieper, Sarai King, Amy McGann, Jessica Ozalp, and Anastasia Vener.

The Wisconsin International Law Journal is publishing the model law in English in summer 2009.
