The International Justice Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established to advance the cause of international justice with special focus on international criminal law and humanitarian law, seeks law and other graduate students for a professional internship.

Our current projects include supporting and assisting the representation of victims in the Darfur Situation before the International Criminal Court (ICC) and conducting international law trainings and lectures. We are also involved in research and advocacy for the development of mechanisms to address the health and welfare of victims of atrocities in the U.S. and abroad.
