The students of the Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) here have received opportunities to pursue global legal internships in the US, Britain, China, Australia and Abu Dhabi, it was announced here on Friday.

"They have been invited to work in international law firms, NGOs and government agencies, besides being given an opportunity to work as judicial clerks with the Supreme Court of Hawaii," a statement said.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for practical learning of global regulatory practice for JGLS students. The international exposure will help provide our students with an in-depth understanding of international laws and justice framework," said founding Vice Chancellor of O.P.

This year alone has seen several international internships and clerkship opportunities added to an already impressive range of practical training opportunities that JGLS offers to its students. The notable ones added this year include Australia's leading corporate and IP law firm Mitry Lawyers and the Attorney General's Department (AGD) of Australia, the statement said.

The existing bouquet of international internships at JGLS include the leading US international law firm, White & Case at their London & Abu Dhabi offices, the Supreme Court of the State of Hawaii in Honululu (US) and Zhicheng Public Interest Law Firm in Beijing.

"We are committed to growing the international recruiter and internship organisation base at JGLS so that our students can learn and gain strong grounding for taking up global leadership roles within law and beyond," said Assistant Dean of Careers Anuranjan Sethi.

The international internships apart, over 115 leading organisations have now signed up for recruitments through the university-organized recruitment process, the statement said.
