Internships

The institute’s summer internship program is designed for students passionate about service. Whether in Uganda working for the supreme court or with International Justice Mission in a field office, the mission is to serve our partners with excellence as they advance the ball on global justice around the world.

Classes

We believe a well-rounded education includes both academics and hands-on training. Our classes expand students’ knowledge of global injustice and offer them practical wisdom on how they can engage these issues and use their law degree to make a difference.

Spring Break

Open to students in their 2L and 3L years, students assist the Ugandan Judiciary with the implementation of plea bargaining in their criminal justice system during the 10-day spring break trip. Students have the opportunity to handle real cases, interview accused persons, and negotiate plea agreements on their behalf.

Fellowships

Looking for an amazing international legal experience after graduation? Our fellowship is a one-year opportunity for students to engage and support our legal reform projects around the world.
