Fifteen Fordham Law School students are undertaking internships supported by the Leitner Center around the globe this summer. Students receiving Leitner Center stipends to support their internships are working in a variety of positions working in international human rights law. They are working on a wide range of important global issues in Egypt, Nepal, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Tajikistan, and the United States.

The Leitner Center for International Law and Justice annually funds student internships in international human rights.  The Center’s Internship Program provides students with $5,000 stipends to work fulltime for a minimum of ten weeks.
