The new DAAD Summer Law School offers the unique opportunity to receive intensive legal training at the University of Freiburg, which hosts one of the most prestigious law faculties in Germany. After the one-week seminar, you will spend about three weeks as an intern at a German law firm, court or other legal institution.
The Summer Law School placements provide students with the opportunity to work in an international firm or organization, to learn about the daily life of a lawyer, consultant or judge, and to gain confidence in an international environment. Last but not least, the internships are a source of mutual cultural and professional
enrichment for both the interns and their hosts.
In 2010: On June 14, 2010 the Summer Law School starts off with a one-week seminar series on German and European law in Freiburg. After that, students start their individual internships at institutions of their choice.
A meeting of all scholarship holders takes place July 16-17 in Berlin. This date marks the official ending of the
summer school. Internships may be continued afterward.
