2007Year established

Program Overview

We organize legal internships and volunteer assignments at various NGOs and law firms in Tanzania. You can choose the topic to focus on, including legal advice for underprivileged women and disadvantaged minorities, anti-corruption, human trafficking, and the coexistence of Sharia law and common law in Zanzibar.

Volunteer at a non-governmental organization that educates women and disadvantaged minorities about their rights as well as provides free legal advice and legal representation.

Law students and trained lawyers can intern or volunteer at a law firm located in Boma Ng’ombe. They get insight into anti-corruption, legal breaks, and criminal defense.

Law internships are also possible with a leading law firm in Zanzibar, where 5 lawyers specialize in different legal areas. Two topics of particular interest to foreign interns are human trafficking and the combination of Sharia law and common law in the judiciary.
