Law Fellowships & Working At CIEL
“At CIEL, caring for people
and the environment is not
just a job; it's a way of life.
From my fellowship to my
position as a Staff Attorney, I
have been and continue to be
amazed by the impact that a
small but dedicated group of
people can have on the world.
If you want to learn how international
law can be used to protect the environment
and the people affected by environmental issues,
there is nowhere better than here.
My experience here
has broadened my horizons, exposed me to issues and
forums that I never imagined I would come across till
later in my career, and brought me great joy. In CIEL, I
have found not only a great place to work, but also lifelong
friends and a sense that CIEL will always be home.”
