Law Volunteer Programs

For many around the world, laws and human rights are foreign ideas rather than tangible, enforceable policies; therefore, many international agencies are focused solely on changing legal policies and practices, to ensure power is properly and legally distributed in every nation. Whether you are just beginning your career in law, are still studying, or have an established legal career, taking time to volunteer abroad will expand the way you operate in the field, while also exposing you to the awe-inspiring power legal policies have around the world.

During my time as an intern, I had the chance to meet Palestinian attorneys who explained the legal system in Palestine, including the difficulties they face under Israeli occupation. I also had the chance to tour Hebron University and its Law College, where professors detailed the distinctive evolution of Palestinian law, from the Ottoman era to the regulations under the Palestinian Authority. The culture in Palestine is incredibly welcoming from the start. The locals are warm hearted and eager...

Why Volunteer Abroad in Law

Those interested in studying law are typically interested in improving the lives of others through legal recourse; volunteering abroad then becomes a natural interest for many lawyers and law students. Volunteering abroad takes this leaning toward humanitarianism to the next level, since laws aren’t equally respected or well-established in every country around the world.

Those that volunteer abroad in law often come back more satisfied with their career choice and profoundly appreciative of their opportunities in life, as well as their legal education. Legal volunteering in an underserved nation will most certainly broaden your perspective of the field, the world, and the populations that need your legal help most. Without venturing outside the walls of your home nation, it can be easy to forget the importance and power that law has on your life, and therefore you may not realize the ability you have to change lives for the better abroad.

Lastly, the most practical reason to volunteer abroad in law is the valuable experience you are sure to gain. If you are applying to law schools, legal volunteering experience will be a huge selling point, and if you are already a practicing lawyer, volunteer experience will speak to your personal dedication to helping people, and may even be factored in when you are considered for promotions or professional advancement.
