For the past three summers, ILP has arranged placements for Osgoode students in countries throughout the global south. Teams of 1-4 fellows have volunteered their legal knowledge and research skills to organizations and governments for between 6-12 weeks. These placements provide the host organization with valuable human resource capacity they would be unable to pay local law students for. In return, the fellows gain experience in legal research and practice they would be unlikely to find as a student in Canada.

Our fellows have worked on projects relating to the development of a judicial education institute, emergency management policy reform, mining law, intellectual property and the implementation of TRIPS, securing human rights for HIV/AIDS infected individuals, providing legal protection for children who are victims of prostitution and pornography, and establishing socio-economic rights for disadvantaged and vulnerable populations. These projects have occurred in Kenya, Philippines, Cambodia, India and South Africa. For more information about each of these projects, please use the links on the left of the page to navigate to our page on Past Projects.
