During Winter Term, they pursued independent clinical placements or research projects with an international, transnational, or comparative law focus, exploring legal frameworks and practices in six countries. Juliette Brezin ’23, Mohammed Jagana ’22, and Catherine Cole ’22 (pictured above, left to right) share their stories.

In many different ways, even during a pandemic, Harvard Law School students continue to engage with international, comparative, and foreign law. Seven HLS students were recently named Cravath International Fellows in recognition of the significant, internationally-focused independent clinical or research/writing projects they undertook during Winter Term in January.
The Cravath International Fellowships were created in 2007 by a group of partners and HLS alumni at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, led by Sam Butler ’54 and the late Robert Joffe ’67.
Learn more about their work on Harvard Law Today, and read Mira Naseer’s post on the HLS Clinical and Pro Bono Programs blog.
Are you planning to conduct an independent clinical or research/writing project, with an international focus, during Winter Term 2021? If so, we encourage you to apply for a Cravath International Fellowship, which offers a special opportunity to share your work at a virtual event with HLS alumni who are partners at the law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, as well as other recognition.
In keeping with Harvard University’s current travel restrictions, you may conduct your project remotely, in the US, or wherever you are already residing, but the Winter Term activity must have a substantive international, foreign, or comparative element.
The Fellowship is open to 2Ls, 3Ls and LL.M. students. Please carefully review the information on our Cravath International Fellowship web page before beginning your Winter Term activity.
