- School of Law students travel the globe with summer legal opportunities Wednesday, May 23, 2018 In the weeks ahead, 12 rising second- and third-year students at the School of Law will depart for Global Externship Overseas (GEO) and Global Externship At Home (GEA) placements all around the world. Administered by the Dean Rusk International Law Center (https://deanruskintlaw.com/2018/05/22/summer-2018-geos-summer-school-georgia-law-students-take-off-around-the-globe/), the GEO and GEA initiatives place School of Law students in externships lasting between four and 12 weeks, and offer students the opportunity to gain practical work experience in a variety of legal settings worldwide. This summer, GEO students will undertake placements in law firms, in-house legal departments, nongovernmental organizations and intergovernmental organizations across Europe, Asia and the Pacific. Practice areas include: dispute resolution, corporate law, international trade law, intellectual property law, international human rights law, refugee law, cultural heritage law and international environmental law.

Students will spend several days in classroom sessions at Leuven and then spend two days in Brussels: one to attend a high-level policymaking event and the other on professional development visits at a law firm, a nongovernmental organization and an intergovernmental organization. The group will then proceed to The Hague, Netherlands, for several days of briefings at international courts and tribunals and other cultural excursions.
