OPPORTUNITIES & SCHOLARSHIPS
ITILS Mentorship Program Sign-up!
Getting internships is a lot easier when you have some understanding of the opportunities out there! Having a mentor is a great way to learn about law school and opportunities in international law. Mentors consisting of 2L, 3L, 4L, and LLMs can provide useful advice. As for mentors, this is a great way to get involved with ITILS.
The ITILS Mentorship Program is now open to all classes until Friday, October 7th.

The competition is open to current students at any institution in the world granting a degree in law. The competition carries a prize of $450 for first place and $125 for second place, and the winning paper is eligible to be considered for publication in the University of Missouri’s Journal of Dispute Resolution. The prize amounts may increase (funding is still being finalized), so be sure to check back for additional details. Students of all levels (J.D., LL.B., LL.M., S.J.D., and Ph.D.) are eligible to submit papers.
