Milton Stewart Fellows Summer Internships: A Global Understanding of the Practice of Law
A critical mission of the Center on the Global Legal Profession is to enhance students’ understanding of how law is practiced across cultures. In 2010 the CGLP embarked on a first-of-its-kind summer internship program in India, placing six interns in positions at law firms and NGOs. In 2011 the program expanded to include two placements in Brazil and nine placements in India. In 2012 the program continued to flourish as 14 students were placed in internships in India, South Korea and Brazil. With the start of the application cycle for 2013, we anticipate being able to place students in internships in these countries as well as China.

A limited number of positions are available in India, Brazil, China, and South Korea. Application must be made through Symplicity, where students will find a job posting for each country of placement. Students are welcome to apply to more than one country.
