Bridges Across Borders 2008 Legal Studies Internship Program adds study abroad course and experiential, hands-on social justice legal work – from Northern Thailand to the gulf coast of Cambodia

The Bridges Across Borders (BAB) Southeast Asia Community Legal Education Program is preparing to host the 5th Annual BAB International Legal Studies Internship Program from May through August, 2008. The internship program seeks to connect the skills of aspiring lawyers and law related persons from around the world with a project that will give them insight into social justice and public interest law internationally and specifically in Southeast Asia. The internship aims to produce a tangible work product that will be utilized in the communities in which BAB works, and will directly result in disadvantaged populations gaining greater awareness of and access to their legal systems, as well as helping to provide support to our partner universities and organizations. The legal interns gain a greater understanding of the law as it is applied and practiced in developing legal systems, while having an incredible cultural immersion and exchange in the beautiful sub-tropics of Thailand and Cambodia.
