CITBA/ASIL Summer Fellowship Program


CITBA/ASIL SUMMER FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The Customs and International Trade Bar Association (CITBA) and the American Society of International Law International Economic Law Interest Group (ASIL IEcLIG) are committed to diversity and inclusion in the international trade and economic law fields, to ending racism and its effects in our society, and to increasing opportunities for attorneys from underrepresented groups who have been adversely affected by racism. To assist promising students who otherwise might not be able to afford an international trade or economic law internship in the public or non-profit sector, CITBA and ASIL IEcLIG are pleased to announce a joint summer fellowship for first- or second-year law students. Members of groups that historically have been underrepresented in the customs and international trade law practice in the United States and who have been adversely affected by racism are encouraged to apply.

  • The fellowship is intended to assist students with expenses during their summer work experience practicing international trade and economic law with a government agency, public interest organization, or international organization prior to graduation. 
  • The fellowship does not provide employment; rather, the applicant is required to apply for and secure a summer internship or clerkship separately. Applicants are not required to have secured placement prior to the fellowship application deadline.
  • The fellowship includes mentorship opportunities from both co-sponsoring organizations and a stipend of up to $1,500. 
  • Applicants must be first- or second-year law students.
  • The deadline for applications is April 15, 2024, at 11:59pm ET
The application is available for downloading as a Word document at https://citba.org//Files/2024%20Fellowship%20Application%20fn.docx
