Introduction
This guide is intended to help students who are looking for international law
internships or careers. It lists useful sources for finding information,
and describes ways to find more sources.
Primary kinds of employers are the U.S. government, law firms, and
corporations. (Corporations, however, rarely hire new attorneys.)
Non-governmental organizations also employ some attorneys, and offer
internships, but can rarely afford to pay interns. Despite the lack of
pay, internships in fields such as human rights are still very competitive.
Because job-hunting in the field of international law is harder than looking
for traditional U.S. law firm jobs, you should be creative and persistent in
your search. Some strategies include:
- Looking for the websites of organizations that may offer internships.
- Using personal connections (professors, alumni, L.L.M. students, foreign
J.D. students, etc.)
- Contacting foreign law firms
