Fulbright Study
Penn State Law students interested in spending a year abroad with Fulbright sponsorship work on their proposals with an experienced Fulbright Program Advisor from the Office of International Career Services of the School of International Affairs. This year, Class of 2009 graduate Julie Polakoski is spending a year in New Zealand conducting a comparative study of the impacts legal reform has on workers' collective bargaining rights in New Zealand and in the United States. She will focus on the context and arguments behind New Zealand's labor law reforms as well as the impacts of these changes on collective bargaining. Her Fulbright research will be used toward completion of an LL.M. degree at the University of Otago.
Work Abroad
Professional skills training at the Law School includes opportunities for students to work as interns in a variety of legal settings. In all of these areas, Penn State Law is expanding the possibilities for students to be placed internationally. Students have recently been placed in internships with the International Criminal Tribunal at the Hague, with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Ethiopia, and with the International Bar Association in London.
