I hereby acknowledge that to the best of my knowledge and understanding the
foregoing is true and correct.
☐
After completing this form, send via e-mail to Vivian Rosado (vrosado@suffolk.edu) and
Christine Bustany (cbustany@suffolk.edu) together with ALL supporting documents (listed
below) in a single e-mail. Incomplete applications will be rejected. Supporting documents
include:
1. Curriculum vitae (résumé)
2. Statement of interest (motivation letter), in English and in any language in which you claim
proficiency
3. Transcript (student copy suffices)
4. Legal writing sample
5. Letter of recommendation (law professor or law-related work, e.g. paralegal, domestic internship)
Additional application requirements:
– A non-refundable application fee payment ($250). Payments are made by check made payable to
“Suffolk University Law School.” Note in memo portion of check (i) your name and (ii) “SGI
application fee.” Submit checks to Joan Luke, Program Manager, Clinical Programs (First Floor).
– Additionally, students are required to sign page 2 of this document and submit it to Joan Luke,
Program Manager, Clinical Programs.
List each language and your level of proficiency, e.g. “Spanish (fluent spoken and written).” It is assumed that students speak
English to professional native-speaker level; if not, please indicate.
2 Before the internship commences, interns should have completed at least one third of the credits needed for the JD degree.
Student applicants should have a GPA of 2.67 or better.
3 List three or more jurisdictions (not just cities) in which you would be open to interning. If you are especially flexible, you may
write in, for example, “Europe” or “Latin America” or “any French speaking country,” etc.
4 Indicate the date when you would be available to start the internship. Typically, if students have more flexibility, there are
more potential placement opportunities. (Note: May/June is generally better for European placements, because, e.g., European
law students are still in classes, so there is generally less competition at that time.)
5 Indicate the date when you would need to have finished the internship. (Note: In Europe, mid-to end-August can be slow
since it is generally vacation month).
6 Internships are generally for 5-12 weeks. If you must have a longer period (e.g. to obtain funding), please indicate here; also
indicate if you intend to do another program (e.g. SULS Lund) within the time-frame indicated above.
7 Most hosts are in the private sector (small- to medium-sized local law firms represent the vast majority, in-house is
significantly smaller groups of hosts). Your chances are greatest if you are open to all types of hosts.
8 Students taking the internship for credit generally do so for three credits (in addition to the two credits associated with the
required course in International Legal Practice when students return).
