Internships

Interview with SIMON THOMPSON

I am a law student from The Netherlands but am of British nationality. Currently I am completing my final year for the Bachelor degree and will go on to study International Law and specialise in Human Rights Law as part of the Master’s degree. Previously I worked at a transport company for seven years, where I was responsible for the financial administration.

Interview with DESIDERATA UTOMO

I mostly grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, which I call home. In the coming semester I will start my fourth year of a combined Science and Law course at the University of Melbourne, Australia. I had done previous human rights NGO work in Indonesia and was keen to experience how the multitude of problems facing a country as troubled as Cambodia is tackled.

Interview with ELIZABETH CUDD

In 1998, I graduated from Pomona College in Claremont, California where I majored in philosophy. After graduation, I moved to Washington, DC and spent one year working as an intern in the Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Chief Justice of the United States at the Supreme Court. While interning at the Court, I decide to apply to law school and eventually chose to enroll at the University of Virginia. I am currently a second-year at UVA.

Interview with JENNIFER SMITH

The public interest career services officer at BC told me about this opportunity. She knew that I was interested in working overseas in a developing country and was looking for international opportunities. I saw a fax in the career office and contacted Mr. John Finck, Secretary of the Board of Directors of Legal Aid of Cambodia (based in New York) who put me in contact with the people of LAC in Cambodia. I sent in my resume with a cover letter.
