Accounts of Past Leitner Interns
Over the summer, the Internship Program provides students with grants of up to $5,000 to work with international human rights organizations full-time for ten weeks over the summer. Applicants complete a detailed proposal and select an organizational partner, such as a non-governmental organization or UN agency, with whom they will work. Upon their return, Leitner Interns file a report summarizing their experience and make a presentation to the law school community. The Leitner Center now has available a binder / database of past summer Leitner internships broken down by region and year. The binder is available as a resource to aid students in their search for summer internships. Please visit the Center (2nd Fl, 33 West 60th St) to view the binder.
