Institute for Global Studies offers internships in the field of Law in multiple countries across the globe. These placements have three tracks:
Private law firm
Our most popular option, working for a private law firm provides a fresh angle on the legal process. Get a glimpse into how the private sector operates to both legally serve clients and make a profit.
Special interest groups
This track is a great way to learn the legal process and advocate change that you believe in. We work with organizations that promote women’s rights, environmental protection, the public good, animal rights, and children’s rights, among others.
Corporate law
Many corporations and larger institutions, such as hospitals, have in-house attorneys. Big corporations have well-staffed legal departments that handle product safety issues, work safety, and external and internal lawsuits. Interns in this track usually focus on copyright infringement, employee/employer rights, and malpractice lawsuits.

The Institute for Global Studies confirmed me at one of the top intellectual property law firms in Paris, France. I really enjoyed using a foreign language in the workplace and being a part of an all-female staff. There were moments of high stress, but also high rewards. This is the first big step on my path to becoming a lawyer.
I completed a business law internship under IGS with firm in Chicago. I had a great experience and the staff was top notch. The research I performed for the firm was used in several important cases. It was rewarding seeing my hard work used in the real world.
I thought it would be a longshot to get confirmed at a Costa Rica-based attorney. The staff at the IGS found me a place in downtown San Jose. Great job! Experience is wonderful. My co-interns are very helpful and sweet. Can't wait to see them again after this pandemic.
