Global Internship Program

Live abroad and work in more than 45 legal organizations in over 25 countries around the world through Georgia Law's Global Internship Program.

Program participants consistently report their global internship experiences to be among the most professionally and personally rewarding of their law school careers, and they often remark how it's the first experience they are asked about in job interviews.

Overview

Started in 2001, this 6-to-10 week program exposes students to international and transnational law through internships in foreign governmental agencies, academic centers, law firms, corporations and non-governmental organizations.

All program participants receive funding from the law school to offset travel and living costs. Learn more about Georgia Law's Global Internship Program.
