International Opportunities

At Northeastern, students have the opportunity to gain invaluable international legal experience by completing one or more co-ops in the areas of “public” and/or “private” international law. These co-ops are available domestically or abroad in a variety of settings, including international agencies, government agencies, NGOs, advocacy groups, private law firms, corporations and the judiciary.

In order to tailor internship opportunities to each student's particular interests, students typically develop their own international law co-ops. For example, a student may be interested in co-op opportunities in a particular country or in a particular aspect of international law, and will work to identify potential jobs with the assistance of the Co-op staff and law school faculty. However, there are a number of participating co-op employers that focus on international legal issues, providing students with regular opportunities to gain experience in this area.

This web page is designed to assist students interested in international law to identify the academic and career resources available to assist them obtain their goal of gaining relevant legal experience in this dynamic and growing area of law.
