MT Supreme Court Clerk Wilson to teach in Serbia as Fulbright scholar

Montana Supreme Court law clerk Hannah Wilson has been awarded a nine-month Fulbright Scholar grant to teach in Serbia. It will be the second major international trip in the past two years for Wilson, who aspires to a career in international law and eventually hopes to become a Foreign Service Officer. During law school Wilson did an internship working at what is now the UN Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals in The Hague, Netherlands. During her Fulbright year she will assist in teaching courses at the University of Niš, Faculty of Philosophy, and continue studying international criminal law and transitional justice.

“I am honored and excited to take on the challenge of living in Niš, Serbia, for 9 months as a Fulbright scholar,” Wilson said. “This fellowship will help shape my international legal career and create opportunities for me to contribute to my legal community through scholarship. I especially look forward to sharing my home culture with my Serbian colleagues, who I hope will share theirs with me.”

Wilson, who was admitted to the State Bar of Montana in April 2018, currently works as a judicial law clerk to Justice Dirk Sandefur of the Montana Supreme Court. A Kalispell native, she is a 2017 graduate of the University of Montana’s Alexander Blewett III School of Law, where she was a Blewett Scholar and a member of the Montana Law Review. She graduated summa cum laude from Montana State University in 2015 with degrees in economics and history.
