This internship is unpaid. Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW internships offer direct exposure to the workings of an international human rights organization, close supervision by HRW staff, interaction with other US and international organizations and foreign and domestic government officials, and opportunities to attend lectures, trainings, and special events relating to human rights. Students should check with their individual academic institutions for requirements.

Second or third-year full-time or part-time law school students and recent law school graduates are encouraged to apply. Computer skills (i.e., Microsoft Office, Internet applications) are required. Foreign language skills, especially Arabic, are desirable.
