Boston College Law School

Summer Opportunities

international law program

Rounding out the International Program in the remainder of the calendar year, BC Law offers a number of summer study and fellowship opportunities:

• Summer positions for first-year students at London offices of Boston-based firms. Thanks to the generous initiative of three Boston area law firms -- Bingham, McCutchen; Brown, Rudnick; and Hale & Dorr -- we were able to identify three dedicated positions for first-year students in London. Student interest in these opportunities was overwhelming. For summer 2002 and 2003, Bingham, McCutchen continued to sponsor this program, and we hope to be able to generate more such opportunities in the future.

• Summer internships at International Criminal Tribunals. The Law School provides stipends to support up to three students per summer working in internships at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court under the direction of Phillip Weiner, BC Law ’80.

• Holocaust and Human Rights Project (HHRP) summer internships.
Every summer, the Project’s endowment supports two to three students doing on-the-ground human rights work overseas. In recent years, students have worked with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda in Tanzania; Legal Aid of Cambodia; the Palestinian Authority; and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) in Ecuador.
