Worth keeping in mind if you are in, or expect to go to, law school:
DAAD Opportunity for Intensive Legal Training in Germany
Application Deadline: January 15, 2010
The DAAD Summer Law School 2010 offers the unique opportunity to receive intensive legal training at the University of Freiburg, which hosts one of the most prestigious law faculties in Germany. After the one-week seminar, you will spend about three weeks as an intern at a German law firm, court or other legal institution.
DAAD will provide funding to internationally interested and outstanding law degree undergraduates in the second and third year of their studies. Applications of students in their first year are also admissible. German language skills are not a prerequisite, but welcome! The DAAD funding includes a grant of 650 euros for the duration of the summer school. Furthermore, each scholarship holder will receive a lump sum for international travel expenses (depending on country of origin) and a five-day travel card for German Railways. DAAD will also provide health insurance and accident and personal/private liability insurance.
On June 14, 2010 the Summer Law School starts off with a one-week seminar series on German and European law in Freiburg. After that, students start their individual internships at institutions of their choice. A meeting of all scholarship holders takes place July 16-17 in Berlin. This date marks the official ending of the summer school. Internships may be continued afterward.
