What We Provide
In the field, Fellowship funds will provide language training, law-school tuition, U.S. student-loan payments, necessary insurance, and living and travel costs. Fellows are expected to live in reasonable comfort and good health, and have the necessary resources to meet, socialize and travel locally and in-country with fellow law students, faculty and law administrators.

What We Expect
Fellows will live in the country under study for two continuous years, and, if possible, are expected to write or blog monthly reports to the Institute’s Executive Director and, through him, to the Hazard Institute’s Board of Trustees and a “constituency” of law-school deans, senior faculty and experienced international practitioners. These reports may be distributed electronically to foreign policy experts with particular interest in the destination country.

International Fellowships
For the first two years, Fellows will enroll and study for Master’s degrees at leading law schools in the countries under study and are expected to have or gain conversational and reading skills in the relevant legal language or languages. They will immerse themselves in the law life and law proceedings of those countries with the idea that they will develop in-depth understanding of the Rules of Law that underlie societal, governmental, and business behavior.

Opportunities in The United States
During the third fellowship year, Fellows will return to the United States and teach comparative international law at a participating law school.

How to Apply
Those interested in becoming candidates should write or e-mail letters of interest to the Executive Director, enclosing or attaching a c.v. and explaining the experience, education and personal background that would enable the candidate to live and study for two years in the country under study.
