Program Overview

The Excellence Center / Engage in Palestine offers the Palestinian Laws & Legal Practices Internship, designed for law students, social science scholars, human rights advocates, and anyone interested in Palestinian legal systems. Based in the West Bank, Palestine, interns can participate for 1 to 13 weeks during summer, winter, spring, or autumn. This law program provides a comprehensive understanding of Palestinian legislation in the West Bank and Gaza. Interns gain hands-on experience by visiting local Palestinian lawyers, law faculties, courts, human rights organizations, legal religious institutions, and legal clinics. Participants observe law enactment, decision-making processes, court rulings, legal negotiations, mediations, and the wide range of social issues addressed by these institutions. The internship fosters dialogue between participants and Palestinian legal experts, introducing interns to one of the most complex legal systems in the region. It offers an in-depth understanding of Palestinian law, humanitarian law, and the legal challenges surrounding Palestine and Israel, preparing participants for future careers in law, human rights, and social advocacy.

Everyone should discover Al Khalil

This was my first experience in both Palestine as a whole and the first city to visit in Al Khalil. I joined the law and human rights programme with the Excellence Centre for a week and it was truly eye opening and insightful. What we see in the media is only a small glimpse of the reality here on the ground. I was able to talk to legal professionals and their lives here in Hebron and I was able to talk to locals and understand their struggles living under occupation and segregation. I feel more inspired to do more to promote human rights now and can't wait to be back in Al Khalil again!
