This summer, 17 Washington University School of Law students provided valuable, free legal services and engaged in international public interest work with legal aid organizations, non-government organizations (NGOs), and international courts in South Africa, Ghana, Kenya, Chile, Panama, Nepal, China, Italy, and The Hague.
In their intensive, 10-week, international internships, law students provided legal assistance to low income individuals with immigration, civil rights, land rights, environmental, housing, family, and criminal matters. They assisted with dispute resolution in community courts and international commercial arbitration centers, promoted civil justice reform, conducted research and drafted legal memoranda for international courts, and studied international law and practice.
