All of our JD interns have the opportunity to submit JURIST Dateline reports from their foreign internships.
SELECTING A PROGRAM
CILE maintains a Foreign Internship Reference Guide, which is available online through Symplicity (in the document section), and in a hard copy binder available in the CILE office and at the Library Rerence Desk. Review the opportunities in this guide early in the fall semester so you will not miss any formal program or funding deadlines.
After reviewing the opportunities in the CILE Foreign Refefence Guide, schedule a meeting with the CILE Assistant Director. Make sure to bring a current resume, a statement of interest, and a copy of your transcript (1L students can bring their undergraduate transcript).
After meeting with the Assistant Director, finalize your choices and contacting potential internship providers.
