The Immigration Law Project is now seeking applicants for two summer positions in refugee and asylum law and processing, one in Malta with an international NGO preparing asylum applications and one in Kenya, with an international NGO processing refugees for resettlement. In both instances, the clients will be variously Somali, Sudanese, Chadian, Ethiopian, Congolese, and Rwandan.
Interested applicants should submit a cover letter, CV and transcript, detailing: international experience, experience with refugee and asylum law processing, particular proven interest in refugee or asylum law, languages spoken, international experience, and ability to work abroad for at least 8 weeks during the summer of 2011 to martha.s.drane@nesl.edu. Applications must be submitted by 5:00pm on Monday, November 29th.
All students are eligible (including current 1L's and 3L's who will be graduating). The Center for Law and Social Responsibility will offset some of the travel costs associated with the internship, but the remaining travel costs and living expenses are the responsibility of the student. There is no credit associated with this internship. Interviews will be conducted on campus during the first week of December and the ILP will then forward the selected applicants to the NGO's for consideration. For questions, please contact Martha Drane or Professor Haynes at dhaynes@nesl.edu.
