Ten rising 2L and 3L students at the University of Georgia School of Law are taking part in Global Externships Overseas this summer. Administered by the Dean Rusk International Law Center, the GEO initiative places Georgia Law students in externships lasting from four to twelve weeks, and offers students the opportunity to gain practical work experience in a variety of legal settings worldwide.

These Global Externs are enhancing their legal education through placements – remote this summer, on account of the pandemic – in law firms, in-house legal departments, and nongovernmental organizations based in Asia, Europe, and South America. Practice areas include dispute resolution, corporate law, refugee law, and international human rights law.

• Ben Bacia (3L) – PSA India, New Delhi, India
• Starlyn Endres (3L) – Orange, Brussels, Belgium
• Savannah Grant (2L) – Araoz y Rueda, Madrid, Spain
• Nishka Malik (2L) – Orange, Brussels, Belgium
