"My internship at CIEL exposed me to some of the most contemporary and pressing issues in international law, world trade and environment.
Apart from analyzing black-letter law and theory, my assignments taught me how to balance various stake-holder concerns and coming up with pragmatic solutions. I found the program to be very inclusive, with interns regularly attending weekly staff meetings and many other events around D.C.
Having had made some very good friends, I can easily say that the entire CIEL family is extremely friendly, supportive and approachable. It was an inspiring experience, to say the least!"
