Looking for an opportunity in International Law?
Are you interested in securing a summer or permanent position in the international field? Case law students have had a lot of great experiences in international law with the help of the Cox International Law Center. The Cox Center offers stipends to students who secure international law related internships. Some of the experiences that students had this past summer include:
• The Association of Defense Counsel, International Criminal
Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, The Hague, The Netherlands
• Law firms in Greece and Brussels, Belgium
• The International Trade Centre, Geneva, Switzerland
• The International Consortium for Law & Development, Boston, MA
• The International Bar Association, London, UK
• International Criminal Court, The Hague, The Netherlands
• Amnesty International, Washington, D.C.
• U.S. Department of State, Washington, D.C.
In addition, there will be numerous international opportunities posted on E-attorney. Websites like pslawnet.org are also great places to find jobs with non-profit and government agencies. The CSO has a number of great international related resources and you can see a complete list on the website and can access additional resources in the International Law section of the CSO Blackboard course. A few of the resources available in hard copy in the CSO include the Official Guide to Legal Specialties, Careers in International Law, the Opportunities in International Law Binder, and ABA International Internships. And don’t forget that your professors are invaluable resources when researching careers in the international field.
If you want to work in international law but are not sure where to start your job search come see us in the CSO! Sarah, Alyson, and Kelli are happy to meet with you to talk about your specific goals and the opportunities and resources mentioned above. (If you are a first year, we look forward to getting to know you and helping you reach your job goals after November 1st!)
