Top Legal Practice Internships, Tanzania | Intern Abroad HQ

I most definitely enjoyed the work I did in my internship the most. It was something that was really important and impactful for my career and interest as an immigration lawyer. I was able to learn how to properly communicate with clients and I got to learn the process of getting the necessary documents so that they can remain in Spain legally. It was truly a privilege and fantastic experience and opportunity for me. Additionally, this experience helped me develop and get an idea for what it means to communicate, work, write, and interact professionally with clients and colleagues alike. My internship opened my eyes to a new and efficient way to connect and work in immigration law. As well as opening my eyes to the limitless possibility of connecting to new people. My internship also helped me meet and work with new amazing people within the same interests as me. It’s something I will take with me for my future work to deepen my personal and professional development. I just want to say thank you so much for the help I received such as answering my questions and doubts that I had before and during my application process. They were answered very quickly and with a lot of information.

The highlight for me was meeting so many new people, being immersed in a different culture, and gaining a first-hand insight into how another legal system operates. Personally it has helped me step outside my comfort zone and be more flexible, and professionally it has strengthened my understanding of international legal practice, developed useful skills, and been a strong addition to my cv.

My four weeks gave me real exposure to commercial and civil law practice in a Spanish firm. I worked on a range of matters, including drafting informes jurídicos, conducting jurisprudence research, and translating legal documents from Spanish to English. This hands-on experience sharpened my legal research and drafting skills and gave me valuable insight into how a boutique law firm operates day to day. It's confirmed my interest in commercial law and given me a much clearer sense of what a legal career could look like in practice. The pre-departure guidance from Intern Abroad HQ was clear, thorough and easy to follow. I felt genuinely well prepared before arriving in Barcelona, with all the practical information I needed about the placement, the city and what to expect. Communication in the lead-up was responsive, and I always knew who to contact if a question came up. Overall, the planning support gave me real confidence going into the internship.

Everyone on the Intern Abroad HQ team was very helpful. They were very patient with me, especially since my internship required extra/complex steps (due to the university approval process). Im very grateful for Sarah my Program Manager and my in country local team for guiding me from the very beginning until the end. I loved my placement so much and I appreciated their guidance and support, especially at the beginning when some changes were needed. Thank you so much everyone!!!!

I really enjoyed the city of Arusha, and I found it very interesting. I went on a safari in the Ngorogoro crater, and it was awesome. It was interesting to learn about new cultures.

My internship has broadened my perspective and skill set, preparing me for a future where I can make a meaningful impact. Observing the rehabilitative approach of these facilities has deepened my understanding of how different legal systems can better serve communities, which is crucial for my aspiration to improve access to legal aid and promote human rights. Ultimately, this internship has solidified my ambition to work internationally. I hope in the future I can contribute to promoting equality, and defending people’s rights. This role has not only prepared me for the immediate next steps in my career, but has also reinforced my commitment to a lifelong pursuit of justice and human rights on a global scale.
